I know that I have not been on here very often,but I know there are a LOT of Very Caring People on this board....Some have actually Met Hobo...
He is a Wonderful Dog,But he is Not doing well....He has lost most use of his hind legs,he has dropped 20lbs...he is now 30lbs...So Scary...He is deaf,and is losing his eyesight..and I guess he has what is commonly called "Doggie Dementia"...he doesn't always know where he is....
He is still reasonably alert...just put a piece of Chicken in front of him...
I am having a Very Hard Time trying to make a decision on his quality of life...he is comfortable,heck he sleeps in our bed all day and most of the night.
He isVery regular...he rarely has an accident in the house...he still knows what out means...he goes for 2 to 3 very Slow,Short walks per day..
I just know that I Love My Dear Hobo...I adopted him when he was 7...he had already had a Hard Life,and has Scars to Prove it...I want his last days to be as Content as Possible...He is Truly a Wonderful Dog...I Cannot Make this Decision Myself..
I guess I just needed to vent...I don't know what the answer is..
Thank You All for Listening....
