Thanks for sharing that, Derrick. I shed a few tears myself just reading it. My oldest pup Nikita (the one in my profile pic) is turning 14 this year and she's falling apart. She has dementia, crippling spinal arthritis, fecal incontinence and hearing loss but is otherwise hanging in there. Fortunately, her flavor of dementia is a very happy one so even though she doesn't seem to know what's going on, she's enjoying herself. Anyway, I've been fearing the day she goes for the last 6 or 7 years since she first started turning grey. It's crazy how we see them go through their entire life spans in such a short amount of time and they see us virtually unchanged. But the magic they bring into our lives makes it all worthwhile.
