Christian, I'm sorry to hear about Pretor's problems. He sounds like a wonderful dog! I have mad some corrections - in English we use use "he" for a male dog rather than "it". Very well written, overall. 

Best wishes, Susan

My dog´s issues

I have an dog, its his name is Pretor. We called him that way in honor to of the Praetorian guard (in spanish "Guardia Pretoriana"). They were the bodyguards of the emperor in the ancient Rome. Pretor is a golden retriever, a very big dog and and an old one. it He is 9 years old and It he had has been a great dog, very noble and vey kind with us. Pretor cannnot be a guard dog because he is very friendly, even with the strangers.

But lately and maybe because its of his age, it he has several issues. He has a hip problem, the veterinarian said that this problem is common in that race and because of its his size a surgery will would be dangerous. So we have to give him some painkillers.

And this week he was diagnosed with an eye problem and a liver problem, so we have to wait for some laboratory results to for the diagnosis. My mother and my little brother are very concerned about the heatlh of Pretor. I tell them that we have to wait to for the diagnosis. I am not sad but I

don´t like to see Pretor getting old.
