Not sure what I'll do today, probably just house stuff. I had planned to walk again this morning, but now I don't know. It depends on the weather.
It's a sad morning here. My poor old dog, Butter (almost 14) is in bad shape. His back right leg is almost completely useless, and he is having a real hard time getting around. I have a feeling we might be facing some difficult decisions very soon. If he gets to the point that he can't get around at all, I don't know what we will do. He is 95 pounds -- how will he go down the three steps in the back and into the yard to do his business? DH had to help him get down the steps this morning and back up them to come onto the porch. He is in the den right now, just relaxing on the floor, and I just gave him an aspirin (which we have been doing for a while, once at day, at the vet's recommendation), so I am hoping the aspirin will help him feel better soon. He is so pitiful. When DH finally got him back into the house this morning, he (DH) started to cry. It's just a sad morning here. Not sure what we will have to do, but friends, it is not looking good.
Well, sorry to come here and put such a damper on the day, but I just had to share my sad news and ask for prayers for my poor old loyal friend.
I'll be checking in later. Have a good day, everyone.....BB

Could you put a ramp on the steps--just a piece of plywood--for when he goes out and comes back in.

Yes, we had some good old storms here last night as well! It was good to have the old DH home, safely snoring away! It's continued to rain all morning, so I have stayed in and loved being snug...of course, these days, living in my house is akin to living the life of a farm woman, feeding and watering the livestock every morning...and cleaning up the poop!
Love ya, Beebs. Seren
