Dog slide. I have been trying to stay out of slides since they upset a few people so badly but I have to do this one.

I have two old dogs. They are going on 15. I picked both up off the side of a highway when they were 6-weeks old. They are sisters and littermates.

One of them was diagnosed with bladder cancer 6-months ago. She has been taking a cancer tumor reducing drug during that time. It was working fine until two days ago. For the last two days she hasn’t greeted me in the morning with a bark and wagging tail and she is only eating about half of what I put out for her. She is VERY thin. The doctor said to watch for passing blood, but she hasn’t done that. Still, there has been an obvious change for the worst in the last two days. She doesn’t act like she’s in pain but most times they hide that.

We have an appointment today at 3:30 to see her doctor and decide if it’s time to let her go. This is my third old dog I had to help cross the bridge in five years and the second in two years. I hate this part.

Unslide
