you're welcome. that dog has the same look on his face as mine when I held him as the vet put him to sleep.
12 years is pretty old for a Norweigan Elkhound.

I had to put my two greyhounds down within a year of each other...one was 12, one was 14. My wife and I got the 14 yo a month after we were married. She was literally our first child. Took me 3 years before I could get another greyhound.

Nothing smells worse than a wet dog. Except a wet hippie.

Yes, but would you smell like a wet hippie, and a wet dog, just to replicate that photo? I would, in a heartbeat.

I’ve had one dog in my life as a boy, until my daughter got a dog and then had to move away for work.
I have the dog now. I swore up and down I wouldn’t have a dog again, the walks, the poop scooping and vets and then the hardest decision...
the dog Tootsie is an amazing canine. Smart, knows what I say, is getting more obedient (she’s almost 4 years old now).
I’ve learned / she’s taught me her vocalizations and what she means now, so we communicate better. She is learning to love her baths and is coming around to toe nail clipping...very slowly.
Tootsie is a rescue from Salt Lake, UT that somehow made her way to Denver as nothing more than skin and bones after having a litter somewhere...
She’s so much improved her muscles and is the second fastest doggie at the dog park, she loves to run and smiles a mile wide.
If you haven’t read “The Art of Racing in the Rain” you should get it asap.
The outside of a dog is good for the inside of a man...Churchill??

Thanks for the beautiful picture. I may be putting my Jack Russel Terrier down soon, maybe tomorrow. His 2nd eye went blind from glaucoma a month ago and this morning he appeared to have had a stroke. Walking in tight circles and shaking. Even if it wasn't a stroke he isn't adjusting to his blindness like I had hoped he would. His quality of life is zero and I can't bear that life for him.

I thought some nut shot that guy on a stoop in New York City thirty years ago?

To: Ditter
In older dogs there is something called “Vestibular Syndrome” that can mimic the signs of a stroke. It happened to one of my elderly basenji’s. He was fine in a day or so (although it can take longer), the important thing is to keep him hydrated, as the vertigo effect can interfere with them being able to drink.
Hope your pup does better.
FYI, my other basenji (almost 17) went blind some time ago. It seemed to adapt pretty well. Of course you have to adapt too.
