The loss of natural function has been my previous line in the sand.
Senility He looks good initially but he is functionally impaired.
This dog was a farm dog that ranged over 30 acres.
He is now tied to a lead, and shiver shakes and pants.
He cannot find me in the house.
He cannot figure out where the back door is.
I think it is tragic.
But I even had a neighbor who kept a blind dog alive for many years.
with this post you know it is time!
The dog you describe is suffering. It is cruel to allow that to continue.
