i love my dogs, i love my dogs, i love my dogs

(i don't love my elderly dog's elderly bladder)

I swear I just let her in!

It's why we have wood floors and a box of dog towels in the garage...

Ask your vet about incontinence medications. When we first got Patch, he had trouble with continual submissive urination. It would even be damp if he laid in the same spot for a while. We used the meds for a year or so and it really helped.

The meds were cheap. Maybe they could help.; 9:45 PM
Cindy said...: Sweet baby. I just finished another week with Mickey and Opal who don't have any elderly dog problems - yet - but they do have barking incessently at anyone - people and other dogs who dare to walk anywhere within the vicinity of their corner.

And then I spent some time with my dogs, Wiggles and Sunny D, yesterday, who are both elderly. Wiggles has many problems, altho incontinence isn't one of them - yet. I think she is, however, in that "last chapter of her life". She is such a sweet and gracious soul. I love her dearly.; 12:02 PM

Words To Live By

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?'
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Marianne Williamson
