I have a multiple furkid household. I am totally 'owned' by four furkids. My toy poodle is eight, she's started showing some aging. She requires a little more TLC in the..ahem..personal cleanliness department.
The thought that keeps me from opening my home again and again is this: How would I handle having five, six, seven or more furbabies
all aging at the same time?
I mean, I read the forum about illness, the R.I.P. forum too, and I see all that everyone goes through keeping their aging babies healthy. Could I do it with more? I don't think so....
Three of mine are within two years of each other agewise, and even the thought of potential eye issues, kidney issues, blood sugar issues, bone issues...and they are like people, they
will have issues with aging, makes me seriously consider my responsiblity at this point.
It's not all fun and games is it? Can any parents of senior furkids give a little insight? Could you or do you give care to more than one geriatric furbaby?
How on earth can you do it?
I think we lose sight of this..in the happy, happy moments. Lifetime responsiblity..it's a sobering thought.
