I didn't know dogs got alzheimer's! How does a dog act that has it?

That Chester and Millie looks really good too! They are both so sweet looking!

Willie, she was living in a cage at a vet’s office for months. A client of theirs had found her wondering the streets and took her to their office. She was a horrible matted mess, so they shaved her all over as best as they could. No one ever claimed her so they did a dental on her and vaccs and ran tests and found out she was healthy as a horse.

We thought a few months ago that we might have to put her to sleep. We noticed her peeing in the house, wandering aimlessly, staring at the walls for HOURS. One day she stood outside and stared at the shed for 2 hours. I kept looking out to check on her and she never even sat down. During the period that she was having symptoms she became terrified of me, so I left her out there as long as I could stand it. It really freaked her out if I went near her, and she flipped out if I picked her up.

She takes Anapryl now and it’s made her a totally different dog! She’s starting to sit with me and she plays with Millie in an odd way again. No more staring at walls or sheds, though she is still petrified of the laundry basket.

No idea how old she is, but we estimated between 14 & 16 then, so around 15-17. Either that or she’s had a really hard life and she’s only 8. (Inside joke between hubby and I).
