HI All,

Well when you get to be 13 and you are a Golden Retriever life sometimes 
gets to be complicated.  Some times it's hard to know which way is north 
and which way is south...  Poor Kaycee is having a bit of trouble with that 
right now.  Woke up this morning and she just was looking funny, walking 
funny, stumbling about and she also was holding her one ear sort of 
down.  No not an ear infection..  So off to the vet we went, the vet was 
having a hard time seeing what I was talking about but that's because 
Kaycee loves to go to the vet ( very sick dog in that regard)  But after 
MS. Congeniality calmed down Deb could see what I was talking about and 
gave it this name: Vestibular Disease

Here is a link about it.  I have read a few today and think this one is 
probably the best one, easy to read and non alarming:

So anyway not to worry, I don't think we have a real problem here but since 
she is 13 and besides me needing to start getting my self prepared, I 
figured it can not hurt to also alert all of you and educate you as well, 
as some day your all likely to be in this place with age anyway...
