Another thought as I woke up from a nap...
What if Jo Jorgensen was to moderate a debate?
That would at least be more fair.

Pets. SO MUCH JOY FOR SO MANY YEARS.I want them to cease on their own accord. Lots of problems with our oldest one. So difficult.
I think I will love her to the end,
2020 keeps on sucking.
She exhibits no real pain but she can't talk to me. She is getting snappy.
Bottom line I cannot bring myself to putting her down.
huge sigh.
anyway whatever. gotta deal with this with everything else going on...
Not my sweet Kahlua.

Sorry to hear, AOT.
Snappy usually means discomfort but could also be dementia. 90/10 ratio. Spinal discomfort from spinal arthritis or spondylosis is very common with dogs over 60 lbs.
A vet should be able to help her with pain. Blood work and xrays are necessary. Gabapentin is valuable for pinched nerves and NSAIDS are good for arthritic/general pain. Her liver function has to be good for NSAIDS to be prescribed and Labradors are notorious for poor liver function. I'm assuming Kahlua is a chocolate lab. No medications can make her young again but they can improve her quality of life. Good luck, friend.
I do want to say my Lab picks up on her condition. So awesome.
I know all pet owners go through these times. Wishing it was different. Inevitability.
but 2020 still sucks.
My roomie just lost his best friend, his rottie last week, naturally, here at home while he was holding her.
.
This is how I feel and approach I want. Fortunate to have several special,special friends. Way to state it JL Thank you all.
I still have the ashes and a picture of my all time favorite friend. I look at that corner daily.
I love all my pets, I guess just differently
My lab? I want to die before him.
It would hurt too much.
I think I am serious.
I love Ian Punnet.
Ok I promise to stop now.
I just had to look him up. Are you Episcopalian? No reason, just saw he is.
And man this thread is meant be blown up.
Use it for whatever you want except politics.
That's the only rule.
