My dog is having back trouble and his hind legs are giving out. I’m staying home with him today and laying with him. He’s an old boy, just turned 12. I’m hoping it’s his arthritis or maybe he pinched his back. I know he’s old and I know what the near future likely holds but I’m not ready for this. I love this dog with all my heart and we’ve been through a lot together. He’s tough, tho. A Harley Race of a dog if I’ve ever seen one. I’m sorry man; prayers to you guys and the puppy. I know how dreaded the idea even is of it. I have 13 yr old and 10 yr old dog I love them so much Thank you, I appreciate the kind thoughts. It’s like I’ve been kinda blocking it out even tho I know it’s inevitable when they get this far up in age. I hate it.. life really isn’t fair with how short their lives are. The past couple years I’ve been trying to make sure I give him plenty of attention, probably spoil him way too much and I’ve taken so many pictures and videos of him for the memories 13 and 10 for you, and we’ve got 12, 9 and 7. As tough as it is which accepting reality, these golden years have been so much fun and I never knew I’d get so much joy out of senior dogs. It’s making me rethink how we’ll go about our future dogs as I want to get into adopting seniors that have been given up on. It kills me seeing people abandon their family pet just because they’re old and they don’t wanna deal with what comes with having an old dog

Back to the Codyverse hope your dog gets better and he's just wanting a little extra attention lol,our family's dog died two or three years ago and I just can't bring myself to get another. I still love dogs and absolutely love my time with him but just can't go through that again.

I wish he was just wanting attention but he hasn’t been able to even get up to walk at all this morning. My wife used to work at the local vet so she worked some magic and got us an appointment this morning. We’re about to figure out how we’re gonna get him there lol This will be interesting

Got to the vet and back. A few discs are the issue, with one of them being what’s affecting his back leg mobility. He can feel pain in his legs and his bowels and urination is normal. He’s going on a steroid and a little R&R and we’ll see how it goes.
He is a candidate for back surgery so I’ve got to look more into that.

Seriously- try to look into acupuncture or aqua therapy for your dog. Best of luck to both of you.

We have a cat who’s 17 now and from late Nov - Mid Feb he was constipated to the point where he was going to the vets weekly. But when it was finally resolved the vet started giving him a monthly shot for the arthritis he has in his lower spine and hips that has worked really well for him as it has helped improve his posture and mobility. I’m not sure what it’s called, but maybe they have something like that for dogs as well? And as I mentioned in the what made you happy thread today’s our 30th wedding anniversary and last year we drove by where we held the reception and it looks like it been closed for years. Very sad.

Good news about the cat and Congrats on the wedding anniversary. Out 37th is coming up in September.
I feel what you are going though on the reception venue. Our venue was torn down years ago and now is a market and gas station. My elementary school, junior high and high school were all torn down and replaced as well as the hospital I was born in. They say things never change, but they do.

Ordered a special dog harness off Amazon and it came used, dirty and covered in pet hair.
Needless to say we got a full refund.

I've been in a bit of a funk lately. Kind of constantly reminiscing about the past and how great my childhood was. It's such a strange feeling to think back and see how much things have changed. Between my health and lack of direction in life, I feel like I need to take a break from a lot of distractions. I'm not finding collecting as fun anymore. I feel like in the last couple of years it's been somewhat of an addiction to cope with things I didn't want to confront in life (resentment, unhappiness, realities). I'll be taking a break from coming here and possibly social media.

Today makes 2 years since my dad passed away. The anniversary of a parent’s passing is always rough. As is their birthday once they’ve passed. My father’s been gone 33 years now and those two dates are always rough.

My love relations these days are not the best. It looks like my wife lost all the interest in me and the girl at work shows too much interest to me. I don't want to do anything stupid of course, even checked the tarot card reading tarotoo.com/love-tarot how to escape from this situation. Hopefully I will find enough courage and strength to do everything correct and don't ruin the amazing family I have.

Without going in too much detail, one of my closest friends has left my life, and my mental health has gone into the toilet. Luckily I’ve been booking a lot of stuff to keep me distracted, but I’m also depression eating like crazy. Those doordash prices add up quickly.

I’m sorry to hear that, I don’t think anything can help with something like that other than time and even then it’s still going to suck. I went through the door dash binge myself (mixed with drinking) when feeling depressed and they totally rob you. Hope you get through it.
