Orangy's a pretty large dog, and being large, at 11 1/2 he's up in years. Chasing animals is about the only time he's very active, usually he just lies around. He looks a bit arthritic getting up and lying down. He's our first and only dog so far, when he passes we'll probably get another one, probably a little smaller. There have been some mountain lion sightings here, as well as some bears, but no encounters with Orangy.
