my old girl I think is finally making her way out. Or maybe she's just slowing down from the onset of winter. But she's probably going blind and a bit senile, and there's something either infection-wise or a tumor that's making her left eye bulge in its socket. She's 18 years old now, and still surprisingly energetic for her age, she jumped up into the passenger side of the van by herself to go to the vet. surprised me. here she is when she was, like, 5 or 6 I think, back when she would regularly just leap over the 5-foot-tall fence in the back yard to go gallivanting around the neighborhood and terrorize my neighbor's chickens until I chased her down and literally carried her back home and her now. she stares off into space sometimes, and is definitely going deaf, but she still sees us and recognizes us, so that's good. I let her out without a leash now even though most of the fence isn't there, because she doesn't really bother escaping anymore. she recently decided to run off though, and went casually trotting...around to the front door, to sit and wait for me to let her inside. she's a good girl, and I thought I had come to terms with losing her at any moment due to her age, but with her visibly declining, it's really started to hurt. the vet did some bloodwork due to the eye thing and said they've literally never seen such healthy blood in an 18-year-old dog, so that's cool at least. there was a rogue white blood cell in there that they think might point to an infection behind her eye, which I would much prefer to cancer, of course, so we'll probably get her on some antibiotics soon.

She was (tagged for those who don't want to read a depressing origin) rescued on a riverbank, when she was a very young puppy, someone had tied her up in a plastic bag and thrown it in a river, it washed ashore before she drowned, someone heard her crying and brought her to a nearby shelter where we eventually adopted her If ever someone is like "how can someone care more about dogs than people" it's because dogs aren't capable of wilful cruelty like that

What a good girl! The most important thing is that she is pain free. Blind and deaf is not a deal killer, sounds like she will have pretty good quality of life thanks to you! The one thing that kills me about all my old dogs is their focus turned more to just being with me than all the crap they did when they were young and bored. So make sure to give her extra scritches and snuggle time!

Oh yes as soon as I get home and wake her up to go out, she gets a thorough full head grab ear scritching. If she hasn't gotten up yet she'll lean so hard into my hand as I scratch that she'll fall over onto her side. I tried putting her thundershirt on to hopefully keep her warmer as it gets colder, so I hope that helps her a bit.

I don't know what happened, but there's some kind of drama between Pit Pat and Patty Hogg.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten down to pet Lando when he’s sleeping on one of his comfy dog beds only to wake up on the floor several hours later with a stiff neck and then found him sleeping on my wife and I’s bed.

My girlfriend is staying over with her dogs, so yay more dogs for dog thread: This is Patchouli, or Chulee for short. She is a papillon mix. Will do a ballerina twirl for a treat as a trick. Any senses chip/food bag will summon her presence, her keen eyes offer no escape. She has the demeanor of a jealous princess. Him name Chibbs; chihuahua Pom mix. Will shake paw for food, but really, what he’ll do is whine incessantly when he’s either not being paid attention to or fed popcorn. Both great dogs.

Hi dog thread. Previously, you met Loki. Today we added a new member to our family. Meet Kazi: She's likely some sort of a husky mutt, and is as sweet and fluffy as she looks.
