Need some FOG insight with our Dog

CigarNut · 05-30-2013, 12:09 PM

For me it's all about quality of life. I have a 16 year old dog. He needs his 23 hours and 45 minutes of beauty sleep every day and the remaining 15 minutes he runs around like a puppy and seems happy. As long as he seems happy we are OK. He has some allergy issues (food and other stuff) but mostly he is in good health. We know that the day will come when he will not be so happy and then we will make the tough decision to not let him suffer.

It's different for everyone, but I think you can tell when your dog's suffering overcomes his happiness. Just my

This is well put.

Looking back, our dog's entire life was an experiment. We tried everything possible, and spent beyond our means.
But she was a happy dog and loved life.

This.

Just know you've done everything you could to make his stay with you as loving as possible. You pulled him from a hostile environment and gave him a proper home. That's like winning the lottery for a dog.

Tearing up over here. So I need to wrap this up.

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers, and if we can be of ANY help or what have you...don't hesitate to reach out.
