We don’t know exactly how old Frieda is, we think she’s 10 or 11. She is slowing down a bit, has some arthritis and she loves to find the sun coming through the window and bask in it. She needs the warmth. I can only imagine her years running wild in the Adirondacks might have worn out her legs a bit. Frieda is serious about keeping trucks away from our property and she likes to guard my office while I write. I appreciate it. Frieda has great character. She is the most loyal and loving dog I have known, still a handful but quieting down. She watches Maria closely and works with her when she is not guarding me. She takes her truck-chasing seriously. She is a working dog with a lot of work.
