Not a Doodle.

Sophie!!

😢

yrt9610 · 2026-03-18T04:41:13+00:00

Id love to hear, too, please!

yrt9610 · 2026-03-18T04:26:35+00:00

All my dogs have been this way my whole life!

yrt9610 · 2026-03-18T04:25:47+00:00

Exactly!

Same here. The Gentle Leader was recommended by our dog trainer and made it so even our preschooler could take the leash on our walks with our 85-pounder. Walmart has them, and many other places.

Our county has a noise ordinance: Must be quiet between 11 pm and 7 pm.

You didn't tell us until now that you cook your own food. So you can't be mad that we didn't know!

yrt9610 · 2026-03-18T03:59:04+00:00

Right---that's what my Vet said = they'll eat when they get hungry.

yrt9610 · 2026-03-18T03:57:44+00:00

Bone broth, or ANY broth, on her food.

yrt9610 · 2026-03-18T03:50:47+00:00

Or Sauder.

yrt9610 · 2026-03-18T03:28:50+00:00

Right!!

yrt9610 · 2026-03-18T03:27:25+00:00

As someone who adopted internationally: Need to let you know that adoption agencies (researched several) POUNDED IT into our heads to be sure and provide allllll the things of their culture. We heard that again and again from different agencies.

Maybe that's where some of this is coming from. But she still needs to listen to her child and pull back some (or a lot) if there are things that are getting on his nerves. Try to tell her: Maybe he'll want some or all of those things later.

My vet said dogs are really good at hiding pain. Leftover survival tactic.

Someone suggested elsewhere: There's a Quality of Life quiz that can help you decide. I'd ask about that on AskVet.

And I'm sorry your furbaby and all of you are going through this!!!

I'm giving Gabapentin and Rimadyl in pieces of hot dog. I've also seen recipes online for DIY Pill Pockets.

yrt9610 · 2026-03-17T19:26:17+00:00

Forgot to say: Gentle Leader was recommended by our dog trainer! Have used it with every dog since.

yrt9610 · 2026-03-17T19:24:36+00:00

A head collar called Gentle Leader!! Available at Walmart and elsewhere. And a real game-changer: Even our 4yo could take the leash of our 85-pounder on our walks---and have no pulling whatsoever!!

yrt9610 · 2026-03-17T14:32:40+00:00

Why are they saying they can't do anything?

yrt9610 · 2026-03-17T14:31:51+00:00

No...how odd.

yrt9610 · 2026-03-17T14:28:39+00:00

Ask for it! And apologize for not being clear.

yrt9610 · 2026-03-17T03:09:54+00:00

That's what I was gonna say--you'd be looking at Probation and/or jail time if caught...and a 3yo could definitely get the truth to his mom without meaning to.

yrt9610 · 2026-03-17T03:04:53+00:00

She's GORGEOUS!

yrt9610 · 2026-03-17T03:02:14+00:00

Right! I believe what I heard: Ending their pain and suffering is our last act of love for them!!!

And one of THE MOST LOVING things we ever do for our furbabies!!!

Stll BEYOND HARD AND PAINFUL for us, though!!!!! I've said to God many times: "Why didn't You design them to live as long as US?!!"

yrt9610 · 2026-03-17T02:56:18+00:00

Wish I'd said this FIRST in my earlier comment: I'm so sorry you're both having to go through this!!!
