Thanks so much Sandra
I know that the senior dogs have their days, but he has them everyday. He always seems still, and always seems to have trouble getting up. He gets lots of love, and he loves that. Sometimes he doesn't eat well, he'll be hungry a little in the morning, and not eat all of his food, but will want to eat a little later in the night. He's deaf, and I know its just cause he's old and deaf, but he's always underfoot. Everywhere you go and turn around you trip over him. We've learned to watch out for him more, and now that we know hes going to be there, we move around him. I know I should be thinking just today, but I can't help thinking what if he's in pain?? I don't think thats fair to him, and I dont want him to be struggling all the time. My cousin did that with their dog, and she got so bad she went to the ditch to die, then they FINALLY took her in to the vets. She was REALLY bad, in so much pain. She couldnt get up the stairs or anything. I guess they felt they couldnt let go. After seeing that poor thing I told myself I wouldn't do that to my babies, no matter how much it hurts..If you would have seen her, you would understand more I think. He seems so happy when you pet him, so he can't be really bad, or maybe not bad at all. I think i'll ask my vet if there is meds I can get him for arthritis or something, and just get his opinion.
About Jo, she only seems greedy with somethings. Like her special bones, or her rope. She has everyday bones and balls, she'll want them if me or ruf want them, but other then that, shes not greedy about them. Thanks so much for listening!
