I’ve done the same for the last 2 weeks for the same reason. Arthrosis will not isolate the dog who is part of my family for 12 years.
Because that’s what heroes do.
I’m glad most of my dogs have been small enough to carry when they get old. I guess if they hadn’t been, I’d just have to be a lot stronger so I could lift them. I mean, I’d obviously never leave them to sleep on their own after years of sleeping in my bed.
I slept in the floor with my girl the last few weeks. Couldn’t do it all the time, and she didn’t always want to cuddle as she got closer to the end, but sometimes she would get scared and need company to sleep well. But she wouldn’t stay in the bed, so floor it is.
The dogs eyes are open. I see this as like the ‘I bet he’s thinking of other women’ meme.
