LOL...... I guess it would be really tacky to walk around town shedding fleas everywhere you go!
We had to put down our 14 year old black and tan today. He belonged to our 15 year old son, who died nine years ago, so now I'm a mess too! Dogs really do become a part of you.
Sorry for both of your losses. Prayers for comfort going up.
Sorry to hear of the loss of your son, and now your dog.
I’m so sorry... for both occurrences. Each FReeQ is quietly toting a heavy load...with courage and faith. {{I humbly bow as tear slips out of eye}}
My condolences on your losses. We once had a dog live to 14, a big dog, so 14 and 1/2 was rather remarkable. 20 years later....we still speak of his unique dog-inality. He was a special sweet-natured goofball.
GRIEF REBOUNDS.
so sad.
Oh my goodness! I’m so sorry about your son and the dog. I’ve had to put down four old dogs in five or six years and it’s never easy. My old Jack Russell was put down six years ago at 14 after knee surgery at 13. They did ACL surgery and he recovered fine but a year later, he started limping again. The surgery caused autoimmune disease of the nervous system. Two of my JRT/Feists are his nieces. I’m down to three dogs now instead of six and the three are house dogs. Now, one of my small dogs has a slipped kneecap and one doctor said do surgery and one said don’t. She doesn’t seem to be in any pain but goes on 3 legs when it’s stiff. No surgery unless it’s to stop pain.
The size of the Coyotes here with the wolf mixed in makes them extremely dangerous and they don’t have natural fear of people like the smaller Western version.
After a while, adopt another dog. It helps. It will help you and the dog.

So sorry, Grammy. Must have been like reliving the loss of your son. Can’t imagine.
((((Hugs))))
