Swagger is still active at 11 years old. She is slowing down compared to her working days. She still enjoys meeting with UPS driver and sniffing the parcels. Swagger is enjoying the retired life by sleeping and chasing the deer in the yard. I think she misses working.

Update 2025: K9 Swagger and I have been retired since July 2020. Swagger, although getting older and slower, is still thriving in her retirement life. She still greets the UPS and FedEx drivers and attempts to enter their vehicles to stiff the parcels.

Update 2026: Swagger is 12.5 years old. The effects of her work load and age have taken a toll on her health lately. I recently changed her food and she is back eating on a regular basis. She is moving more slowly except when she sees a UPS or FedEx vehicle pull into the driveway, where she wants to jump in and start searching. She is on librela and galiprant for her joints. I will enjoy my time with her while she’s still here on earth.
