Jellies- I need doggie help.

1 Answer

Answer :

I’m sorry. My dog was 18 when we finally realized we should let him down. He had seizures all his life and they increased in number and intensity as he got older. He also got Lyme Disease and arthritis in one of his legs so he could be barely walk. It’s times like this that you just need to let a dog out of their suffering. My parents friend have a lab who’s 14 and she’s like this, jittery all the time and needs constant attention. They are also going to let her down soon. Perhaps it would be better to let her go. Sometimes, it just has to happen.
