    In the winter, Fletcher likes to get under the covers but with his head sticking out like a human. The notch in his ear is from a cat bite.

    love the 2 dogs and the light bulb story. I have to confess it took me a minute to find the second dog.

    Pictures to follow soon

    We gave our 10 yr old female beagle a car ride in a Cadillac to restaurant yesterday. We told her the same magic word combo which is car ride and food this time in Camry. She did not want to get in Camry as if she wanted yesterday's transportation.

    RE how many dogs does it take to change a light bulb, the Pomeranian says, “I will just look cute and you’ll do it for me! And then I’ll give you kisses.”

    look at her little front paws. So adorable!

    It looks like we may have to finally put our Tag down. Third episode in 6 months. Now his back legs are collapsing into one another. I had to carry him up the steps tonight. He just couldn’t make it. 💔💔

    micmel- I feel your anguish. What a long beautiful life your Tag has lived. There aren't any words to ease your pain. It hurts to watch a loved one pass. You will have your memories but right now you are hurting. You will be in my thoughts.

    Micmel we are all there with you. You got another wonderful 6 months with Tag and he will always be with you in spirit. Like our little Kit Kat who crossed the rainbow bridge a year ago. It will hurt but with time the memories will become fonder.

    He made it through the night. How do you know when to let go? He’s not in any pain. It’s his legs are weak. He’s acting like himself. Just weaker. He slept fine. Even moved during the night. He ate breakfast, like normal went outside. If he can’t get upstairs, where I am all day. I cant carry him everyday. I just don’t know what to do! 🐾🐾💔

    Micmel— went thru this with my grand fur baby right after BC dx. I am sending you major hugs.

    Just a couple of thoughts:

    Is your dog taking any pills for arthritis? My daughter’s dog got injections for joint pain and was on glucosamine chondrotin for arthritis which helped him for almost 2 years.

    We also bought a portable stair case to help him get in and out of the car and off and on couch.

    Daughter’s dog was 85 pounds so pickling him up wasn’t easy.

    He let us know when he was ready by peeing in his bed. His poor legs just couldn’t do their thing and he was hurting so much. His pain could be seen in his eyes. When the joy left his face, it was time

    My heart breaks for you. Hug that precious doggie.

    ❤️❤️❤️💔🥺 they become like family. He’s still wagging his tail and being so affectionate. I just hurt inside and the thought of having to make that choice. I will let him show me when he’s ready. Dogs are so special. They make me smile. I need smiles

    Micmel - if he is still eating and has an appetite, than he is still holding on. So I think he is deciding to still stay with you!

    Echoing Dodgersgirl - we give glucosamine to our 16 or 17 year old Tucker (he's a rescue so we don't know his exact age, just that he was 1 or 2 when we rescued him and it's been 15 years now) and it's done wonders for him, as he also had a bit of arthritis. We also give him gabapentin, and have a dog walker come walk him extra in the middle of the day while we are at work, which has actually done wonders for him! He has gotten so much better and actually improved with all of this. We still carry Tucker up and down the stairs and we have a red wagon for long walks in case he gets tired, but then Domino jumps in LOL - not that she needs it, just for the ride!

    Here's Tucker hanging out by his red wagon!
