ok, so our old dog is failing.....rapidly it would appear......i was surprised to arrive home last night to see that my child and spouse were washing her bedclothes....event he comforter....seems the dog has somehow gotten into her room....and spent the day on her bed.....sleeping interrupted occassionally by coughing up his breakfast....poor sod......up all night, sick all day.......we are not yet ready to make a move....not just yet.....one doesn't just discard an old friend just because of a few newly acquired bad habits.....but........the subject has come up......and that is such a sad subject to discuss without tears............
