End of Watch: Phoebe the Service Dog ๐พ
This is an end of watch final salute ๐ซก for my service dog, Phoebe.
She spent 12 out of her 15.5 years of life serving two veterans.
Initially, when I became so debilitated by health complications after surviving a traumatic brain injury and a broken back while in the Army Phoebe was my furry caregiver. At the time, I was using a walker and a full-time caregiver.
Phoebe performed household tasks, like unloading laundry from the dryer and pulling a laundry basket wherever I needed it to go. Reminding me when to take medication, and providing doggy hugs when I needed comfort. She learned to alert me when I was going to temporarily lose my vision so that I could take medicine and get somewhere safe. Once when I lost my vision, Phoebe returned me safely home from 2 miles away.
As my health improved, Phoebe became one of my favorite adventure buddies. I think being out on the ice during ice fishing season, cross country skiing, or just sitting by the river on our homestead, were her happy places.
Later, she adopted Matthew as her comfort human and became his service dog too.
Phoebe passed peacefully of old age yesterday in the loving arms of us who loved her most.
This American dingo, yellow lab mix was such an escape artist. No crate or closed door could hold her. Fortunately, her training kept her in check and will behaved.
I will miss her expressive face, warm eyes, endless love, devotion, and loyalty. My heart is beyond broken today. But she will live forever in my heart. ๐พ
โค๏ธ I love you old girl. Youโve earned the right to rest easy my little hero.
Please help me send her off with a final salute of gratitude for her service. ๐๐พ๐บ๐ธ๐ช๐ซก

Most people focus on the wrong things when it comes to living longer.
Bestselling author Timothy J. Ward breaks down the 3 biological markers that predict how long you'll live and more importantly, whether you'll actually be living when you get there. Not hooked up to a machine. Not in a chair. Walking trails, jumping in the ocean, staying in the game.
The three longevity biomarkers:
1: Muscle mass and strengthโ your #1 predictor of independence, injury risk, and mortality
2: Cardiorespiratory health โ how well your heart moves oxygen and pumps blood
3: Metabolic vitality โ blood sugar control, insulin sensitivity, and energy availability
Most people are optimizing for lifespan. Tim says you need to optimize for healthspan, and these three markers are the road map.
