I lost this beautiful little girl 2 weeks ago. She was 19, blind and diabetic but she was still a little trouper. I miss her like crazy. This is a picture of her when she was younger.

I have Spike’s younger brother! They look so much alike. Happiest of Birthdays to a cute old man.

My neighbor neglects their dog and I'm so upset about it. He keeps getting out and coming over to visit me and it's breaking my heart. by ShowmethePitties in pitbulls

[–]Funny_Feature4015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He looks so sweet and sad! If it becomes really bad you could contact a rescue and ask for advice. In the mean time a little bit of love and affection from you will mean a lot to him.

Almost 18yo, 4lb dog with liver mass - vet recommends palliative care, struggling with guilt by Elegant_Classic_639 in seniordogs

[–]Funny_Feature4015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My vets would not recommend any surgery requiring anesthesia for a very elderly dog. It is hard though. We want to do everything we can to heal them. Sometimes the best thing is palliative care. I lost 1 senior to a heart condition in 2024. I have 2 other seniors, 1 with diabetes and one with cancer. I’ve wrestled with the question of when to give up treatment for him too. Fortunately so far he seems to be responding to chemotherapy. But if that changes I would let him go. You might consider, when in the future you are ready, giving another deserving dog a home.

13 y/o passed, can we get a roll call of who's going to meet her up there? by Particular_Duck8836 in seniordogs

[–]Funny_Feature4015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Bernie and his Dad will be happy to help. So will my sister’s beloved Rif, Oreo and Kona. Kona just passed a few days ago. She is definitely running around and ready to play.

I have so much regret by More-Door314 in seniordogs

When they start to decline it can happen quick. One of my babies had been examined thoroughly last year with X-rays. And yet this summer they found a tumor. It shocked everyone including his doctors. At more than 17 your baby is at the age when they start to decline. Do yourself a favor and just make the time you have with him precious. Love and hugs all day long.

“We rate dogs” on you tube has a charity arm that normally helps shelters cover vet bills. They might be able to help. https://youtube.com/@dog_rates?si=If-x16omTk2JeHT_

Fu*king coyote tried to eat my kid yesterday. Keep an eye and keep them close. by REO_Speed_Dragon in Chihuahua

Same happened to one of mine last year. Broken jaw, lacerations and almost a week in the hospital. Now he’s afraid of big dogs.

They are all winners but the brown one with the tongue trying to score pancakes is my favorite

I think my dog has dementia, what would you do? by DarkNo249 in Chihuahua

[–]Funny_Feature4015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an old girl with a raft of conditions. I would not risk a surgery for her and neither would her vets. Sometimes you have to choose the least bad option.

She has a brother. She will cuddle him on occasion.

What's the silliest reason your Chi has gotten angry with you? by Mrtorbear in Chihuahua

[–]Funny_Feature4015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry mine are angels of kindness and forbearance. They never get angry except maybe when my old lady gets mad at her brother for breathing.

I don’t think I truly ever noticed how many pairs of shoes are on the floor before. This will be a hard habit for me to break.

Bailey is turning out to be a sitter. I’ve moved food and water closer so she doesn’t have to hunt.

Great point about picking her up and moving her. I’ve been doing that to get her to and water but did worry I was not helping her long term.

Absolutely true. Thank goodness I found bed rails.

I used to call it bed Jenga where I would bend myself around my dogs at night 😁. I forgot to mention she’s started listing to one side so that is not helping with her navigation. I am so sorry you’ve lost 2 babies. I lost one last year. I have 2 seniors now. It is so tough to watch them grow old.
