I haven’t meant to be MIA. As I was recovering from a really nasty illness, my dog Steele had an injury last week that had us concerned we would have to make a tough decision. He is 11.5 years old and is struggling with some mobility issues that caused him to slide down several stairs, which injured his better rear leg and made it very hard for him to walk. We spent last week and all weekend letting him rest and assessing quality of life. Luckily, for now he is doing much better and is almost back to where he was pre-accident. With his age and size, all we can do at this point is go day by day, week by week until his bad leg gets to where is he is not able to get around on his own. Lots of tears have been shed even though I knew he would be reaching the end of his life soon. The kittens have been doing well, and I will be posting updates soon!!
