My sister had a rough coated collie that lived to be 14, and her dementia got really, really bad. The poor dog was in such mental distress all the time, and I think they made her hang on much too long. It was very difficult to watch. I do not want to put my dog through that. It is hard to know what is best for them. | Alex has started pottying inside sometimes, too. This is something he would NEVER do before. I don't scold him because he doesn't seem to realize where he is when he does it.
