> Millie went in for her PT today and the vet had her evaluated by the on staff neurologist and the report is that she is getting a bit weak in her rear legs.? When they turn the paws back, she is slow to return her right rear paw to the normal position.? She also said that some of the previous stiffness has improved.? So we will just keep her comfy and continue what we are doing.? She is eating great and is eager to do so.? Her walking is still poor? but she does better when SHE wants to go out as opposed when I want her to.? Continued drool needed for the grand old dame.

> Dear Sally,
> I am saddened to hear Rolph is having such troubles. There is no easy way to say this other than it is time. I went through something similar with my beloved Abe who went to the bridge a year ago June 3rd. He was on previcox, gabapentin and 6 tramadol a day. He could barely walk more than a few steps before he would sit down. I moved into a one level house because I knew the steps were killing him and he only lasted a few months in the new place. I loved Abe with all my heart and was almost codependant on him and him on me. I couldn't stand to be away from him. I couldn't imagine life without him. My judgement was clouded because I loved him so much and I wasn't ready. But looking back I feel I kept him alive too long and I know he was in pain even with all the drugs. He was very grumpy and nasty to the other dogs to the point they were scared of him. One day I bent down to kiss him and he bit me in the face. I was heartbroken, I couldn't believe it. Even though he has been gone a ye
> ar I am still balling my eyes out as I write this.I know you say he still has a spark but I would caution that you maybe seeing what you want to see because you aren't ready to lose him. We all know how hard it is but it's better to do it too soon than too late. No one is judging you.I am sorry that you both have to go through such pain and heartbreak but my advise is it may be time. Hugs.

> Rolph is happy. Why would it be his time? You didn't say he is in pain, not eating his food or anything like that. Me too. They are on about floor cleaner machine number 5. At the risk of being indelicate, my backside gets hosed off most days. Vet lady says I am a ticking time bomb, but until that bomb goes off I am going to stay. I eat my food....especially when it is offered on a spoon or fork. Wag my tail. Get my cookies. Go out to my front yard in the afternoon and take a little sun. Whenever I snooze, they hover over me checking to see if I am breathing.
