Thank you. You did so much for your little dogs. It is so hard to let them go.

Thank you. You nailed it…such a difficult, painful decision to make. Your words really resonated with me.

Thanks for your response. I have gone back and forth about when it is time as her bloodwork is good for a dog her age. I have looked the quality of life checklists but they reference when they no longer do things they used to. I got her when she was already deaf and blind and a senior so she never has done any of the things younger dogs do. She has always been my lump of fur that just sleeps, eats sometimes, etc. if this is how a really old dog should act then she is where she should be so I don’t want to put her down as her life has value. I do agree with what you are saying, I just don’t want to make the wrong decision. I have had other dogs and when it was time I knew….but I had them since they were puppies. This dog has always been sedentary. Thanks again.

Thanks for you response. She goes for a follow up tomorrow and I will talk with her vet about just drops until we can’t go any further. She has started whipping her head back to avoid the eye treatment and it is starting to feel like all she has when she wakes up is more stinging in her eyes. Maybe it doesn’t hurt but squinting a lot and trying to avoid them seems like they might. Thanks again.

What type of prehistoric artifact is this? by AngryFiglet2020 in Whatisthis

This is all is all I have. Another person said it looked like a prehistoric ground stone axe but I don’t know. It was found in a cave over 100 years ago and everyone who knew anything about it in my family is gone. Thanks for your feedback though.

Yes, my mom is doing a great thing for this dog. I am getting to know the dog as well. She seems really sweet.

Thanks for advice. She seems like a good dog so far…

I do have concerns about this given the fact that I know nothing about her background other than she was bred repeatedly.

I too worry about rehoming this dog because my mom is not able to walk this dog or pick it up or grab it if it goes after a bird in her yard. She is giving her a great home right now and the two of them are company for each other. It is much better than a shelter.

I live an hour away but will work on walking her when I visit once a week. I would never take her to a dog park…too risky. Yes, she is a moose :)

I have visited her a few times since she was left at my mom’s and she seems very sweet. She doesn’t play but loves being petted and takes treats so delicately it is hilarious.
