Our older dog, Reggie, has been a GREAT dog, and lived a good, healthy, long life. No signs of age or pain..and then a few weeks ago she started to lose some weight, and having bladder problems. bloodwork came back with elevated various things, and low OTHER various things. Antibiotics for an infection cleared up some things, but Last week, she simply stopped eating. She spent more and more time off alone under the porch, or wandering. Then she stopped wandering and just slept. No interest in anything. Rarely even seemed to hear me anymore.
We were forcing food, but she was just going downhill too fast, so while she was still able to enjoy a car ride we took her out to the farm, tried to get her to wander around a bit, and then put her down. Quickly. Calmly. She's buried up on the hill and I'll transplant one of the Maples there this Fall.
Today sucks.
