Another emotional day with my old man not doing so well. Steve made a comment of please let him make it to and through Xmas. I knew his Xmas gift was in the cupboard, well what use is it there? He may as well have it. His mobility is deteriorating rapidly, as you can see from the top two photo his legs are everywhere and he's knuckling front and back. Today was the first time that he didn't manage a walk and I had to bring him back, sadly the falls onto his face have knocked some of his teeth out. I think the right front leg is the biggest problem as he continues to knuckle over on it. What can I do? Nothing, a dogs strength is more so in the front than back end, so when the front is weak it is a big problem.
I fear our borrowed time is running out - Quality of life has to be paramount!
