Anyone who's been here a while probably remembers I have a dog at my parents' place........a really old doggy.
Bear is a 13 year old lab retriever. I can't believe I was so idiotic to not notice it when I first moved back home (then again that was some months ago), but she isn't doing well anymore at all. There's nothing a vet can really do about it, being as she's so old.
She can't go for any walks longer than around the yard to do her duties, and she can barely hunch over to go potty anymore. She can barely walk around the house without slipping from her back legs.
Now she barely even goes to eat or drink anymore. My mom is feeding her by hand right now. Every other day or so she'll surprise us and get up and eat. But not much.
All she does now is sleep. I fear the worst is coming
God. Dammit.
I've had this dog since I was 12 years old. And I haven't spent nearly as much time with her or paid enough attention to her since I moved home as I should have.
