Helping my aging girl have quality in her life
While it makes me sad to see her lose some of her capabilities, she still enjoys the better parts of her days. I keep in close touch with her vet who feels that she is doing amazingly well right now with some help from me. As long as she is not suffering constant pain or needing large amounts of medications to keep her comfortable and though it involves a bit more of my time, she will still be my best gal pal as long as I know I am helping her through this stage of her life with the dignity and love she deserves
