The vet thought he was weaned to early. I don't really know I rescued him as a puppy.<br />He is my shadow when I walk he is right at my feet or giving my ankle a lick (I think is testing to see if I an ready to eat) He has sent me crashing into walls, two chipped teeth and a smashed shoulder, a glass door and numerous falls. He is nine now and has gotten better not right at my feet but if I get up and move one foot he is up and moving. Stalking me.<br /><br />Meg looks very sweet though. Beautiful lady. <br />I wonder if she is going deaf or has the beginning of dementia ? Watson has both and gets worried or forgetful especially after sleeping and nap time. I have to try and wake him gently talking to him. <br /><br />cheers, parsnip<br />angryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-55867103339805957572013-03-18T17:52:35.735+00:002013-03-18T17:52:35.735+00:00Ps

I understand what you are going through. We can't leave him at home anymore without him getting depressed so he comes everywhere with me, the retired-guy or both of us. He has never been tolerant of other dogs on leash so you can imagine it is just getting worse. I detour around dogs now. Perhaps the eyes and ears are going now, too. It is all so sad but I think from what I read that you (and I) will always do the best for our dogs.
