Aww buddy that made me sad. My dog is 12 now and she is really slowing down a lot and I fear she isn't going to be with us for very long. She can't see well, won't go outside in the dark unless I go with her and hold a flashlight in her path, stumbles often when climbing the stairs, misses the bed or chair when she tries to jump on it, moves very slowly and sometimes forget where she is suppose to do her business or is just too worn out to ask to go out.
When I throw her her treat it goes right past her and she sniffs around until she finds it. She has small fatty tumors under her skin and cysts that have to be drained and her nose is falling apart. I think she has doggie alzheimers because she will stand in the middle of the floor and stare into space for hours. I don't know how I will let her go when the time comes. Thankfully she is not in real pain and still loves to sit beside me on the chair and go for short walks and of course sleep on our bed.
