Why are you in the street ? and, if you are going to bag the poo what difference does it make if she is on grass or not.
I could see a problem if she started to poop as you were crossing a busy intersection...
Hollering or clapping may make her 'hold' poop until she is back in the house.
Praise her a lot when she does have a poop outside.. then on your walk encourage ' go poop, go poop !!'
I had one grey that need that 5 mins extra exercise to work himself and his colon up to poo mode.

We don't allow our kitten bother our 12 yr old greyhound's bed. It is the grey's zone
The older cat has never gone on it.
Our 13 yr old golden loves kitty.. the ol fella would lactate if he could. He has no problem sharing his bowl.
The grey is very tolerant, but it isn't fair to him if kitty is left to run past his nose or jump on his bed.

The angels will kiss him now.
So sorry for the loss of beautiful Powder

I'm sorry for your loss.. and the shock.
Kittens are not like cats as far as many dogs are concerned.
They squeak, they ignore signals, cues, boundaries and danger and lack common sense.
Curiosity... as the saying goes...
I have a mature cat AND a 4 month old kitten. I make sure the kitten and his litterbox is in the bathroom at night so I don't have to worry that his antics are bothering a sleeping greyhound.
Also if kitty is very active and I have to go out on an errand.
Grey is very patient and will give a whine when he has been tested and has had enough.
We have a squirt bottle to remind kitty that grey doesn't want to share his bed.
Likely in your case the mature cats are fine, they know the unwritten rules.

I'm so sorry you are faced with this.
If my dog was 3 and I was faced with a situation where surgery had a high percentage of being successful and we had a good idea it was not invasive...I'd jump at the clinical study.
That said, this is of course an individual decision and you dont't owe anything to another dog or human.
If my older dog's time was limited, I'd want it to be about spending that time together, treats, short drives, icecream , naps in sunbeams etc ..
I would want it as clinical, strangers, needles/IV, anesthesia, scan, stress and discomfort free as possible.

Do you leave the TV, fan and/or a radio on for him ?
A soft dog bed..on top of the rugs ?
A frozen stuffed kong ?

My remaining grey is almost 12 and seems to have aged considerably since the passing of his 'bro ' last month.
The best thing i could do for him was a visit to another greyhound... and a little ice cream.

"I miss the way you orbited around me like I was the sun, when in fact you were the center of *my* universe."
When I read this it brought instant tears....I'm so sorry in the loss of your most special girl.

Most of us do, I'm willing to bet. Only to what degree varies.
We adopted our first grey... he went everywhere with us.
11 months later we adopted number 2 grey.
They both went everywhere with us.
10 months later we adopted number 3 grey.
Now, we would take all three, but occassionally take just one and leave the remaining at home.
Years go by..
we are losing them in the reverse order.
third houndie passed last year, 2nd houndie passed last week...
our 1st pupper is now going everywhere with us because he has never been home alone... and I know he is greiving too.

5 ft coated chain link here.
Approx 8 years old now and has held up wonderfully in canadian weather and with 3 hounds.
We only enclosed a small portion of our property... enough for puppers to run, loop de loop, for their wading pool, have off leash fun but not enough for excessive speeds.

Has her vision been checked ?
One of mine, nearly 13, has cataracts now in both eyes. and one eye was already somewhat impaired due to a stroke at age 8.
He insists on being by my side or at my feet.
It is worse in the evening.
He also lets out random heart wrenching cries that the vet can find no reason for.
Taking metacam now.
