Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences with end of life issues. I truly appreciate it.

I agree...it's the night time that kills me sometimes; she wakes me up panting so hard. I always get out of bed and sit on the floor by her bed and pet her, but my heart breaks, I wish I knew if that was pain she's feeling. She wakes up like this several times a night. I'm not ready to let...

It's very hard for me to figure out if she's still enjoying life, her quality of life is terrible, she barely walks, on the other hand, she seems happy to see anyone who comes near her, and still eats like a champ, her walking consists of walking to her food bowl and outside to potty, she...

She definitely has a huge problem walking, but she still eats like it's her job. Thanks for sharing.

I'm dealing with end of life issues with Jelly...I'm so scared about having to make a decision to have her put to sleep. She'll be 12 Feb. 12. She's got arthritis and at this point only walks when she has to. She spends most of her time sleeping. Yes, she's on lots of different meds...I...

I cry frequently...she's such a good dog. So sweet and gentle. I've been using a sling to help her up and down the stairs, I think that makes it a little easier, she has good days and bad days. But overall I think she is still enjoying life as she knows it now...it makes me sad to think of...

I missed this comment, I just ordered it at Amazon. THANKS! She's still hanging in there, I made a "sling" to put around her to help her up and down the stairs. She could not get the idea to pee on the back deck, she's been a good dog about NEVER peeing anywhere except outside in the...

THANK YOU to everyone for your comments and suggestions. This forum is awesome, I wish I had more time to read through every topic on here, and to fully figure out how to use this board! ;) (I keep looking for a "like" button). We are working hard to train her to go potty on pee pads on the...

Yes, I agree, I will try Lisa's idea. And yes, she has started peeing in the house, she's NEVER EVER done that! Once she was house broken she always went outside! I feel so bad for her, she looks sad when I find a place she's peed.

That's the hardest part...the good days, they are far and few between, but still, it makes it very hard.

I'm so sorry for you...I've never gone through this before, it's the hardest thing ever. Thank you for sharing your story with me.

Jelly today, she's having a good day, even though she looks a little sad! We'll take this day by day....still if anyone has any advice on how to re-train her to go on a pee pad on the back deck, that would make a huge difference for her. THANK YOU to the replies I've gotten you have no idea...

I haven't lived there in ...uh....40 years, I have a sister in law in Gilbertsville, on Gilbertsville Ave., I haven't even visited in 30 years, I'd be lost! I'm in Florida, so everyone comes here! ;)

I can't imagine losing two in such a short time. I'm so sorry. We've talked about letting her have cake and ice cream ;) I'm taking this day by day...today she is having a good day...I still need to figure out how to re-train her to go potty on the back deck, that would make a big difference.

That made me cry, but thank you, I will remember that!
