re: Old dog. At what point you say good bye?

What BVDD said makes sense it could be diabetes, I had a 100+lb lab that got diabetes and was very skinny before he was diagnosed. Ended up giving him daily insulin shots for bout 2 yrs, it made a huge difference. It might be a good idea to get him checked out and make him as comfortable as you can. The insulin wasn’t expensive and we did the shots ourselves, it was a few mls of insulin and gave the shot in loose skin at shoulder.

On a similar note my oldest went off to college on weekend and dog was not happy, while he is my dog, my son and the dog are buds – dog would not stay out of his room (hes not allowed in there) but dog would go lay on the rug by his bed any chance he got – ya its bittersweet day, ya want them to grow up and move on but in a lot of ways you don’t either
