Its hard to see them aging and slowing down. When Max (mini schnauzer) went deaf with diabetes we would clap to get his attention. He did strange things too like, go to the gate and bark for seem like hrs. We thought he was getting dementia too. Bless his little heart, it was hard. Their eyes get disclored and really all you can do is just love and have patience with them. The only time he tried to nip was when we started to help him up on the couch one nite and he probably was having pancreatis then and we did not realize it and did not know how painful it is to them. All I can say is just enjoy what time you have left. I miss him so much and it will be a yr. this Mother's DAy we lost him. It still hurts like it was yesterday. |
