My dog was estimated to be 1 when we first met him- he was a stray who was dumped (our neighborhood had a lot of dumped dogs). Now he is 15 and white decorated his brown fur.
I made a post about him here before about how much I love him, but I’m afraid his condition has worsened since then. It takes him so much energy to look up at me in the morning or when I just come to say hi. We take him to the vet a lot, and they took him off of his special kidney diet. The medicine our previous vet gave him for his joints had seriously damaged his kidneys and liver, but with the special food, he became very hungry and tried eating plastic. The vet put him on regular food and said he would be happier with whatever time he has left.
He stole our cats food a few days ago, and when I tried to pull him back (very gently) he growled at me. He never ever does that. Even when I was an annoying little kid yapping about, he wouldn’t growl at me. But we feed him well, and he gets treats- it’s like he’s losing his mind. He can’t hear me anymore and barely sees me.
I’m losing my best friend. I just don’t know how to cope with him getting older. He was my rock for so long, the foundation of what made me want to live. What do I do.
