Nice set up!

Val has gotten pickier with age (as is her right!) I have found adding a bit of canned food to each meal works great, and it makes a convenient way to give her powdered meds

I know this sounds silly, but maybe he just noticed it? Anyway, I would turn it off for now, give him a chance to get comfortable in the living room again.

She sounds like the perfect fit!

The obvious answer is when the max dose of pain meds don’t control the pain. Don’t hesitate to ramp up the dose, BTW, if you see any signs of pain. That said, it isn’t always that clear. My two osteo dogs both broke their legs before I even knew there was anything wrong (and the screaming was the absolute worst thing I have ever heard), but I have had two other dogs with other types of cancer, and I could see they were in pain and tired of fighting and ready to go. I have also had pets, cats and one dog, that never gave me “the sign”, I just had to make the call, best guess. i guess what I am saying is, other than the obvious pain thing, you just have to go with your knowledge of your dog. Sometimes you have to be the grown up and make the hard decision, and that really sucks. edited to add, I have always believed in A day too soon is better than a day too late, and after 20+ pets over the years I have never had cause to not believe this.

Oh yes, "move please" is the first thing they learn, but it often means (to them) walk directly in front of mom and stop

Having cats makes one partially immune to pouts

she has forgiven me (for now) but I am sure this will be held in reserve for next time!

At least Cletus has an excuse!

How often have you said something similar to your dog? If you have a princess ( of either gender) I’ll bet it is almost daily She is pouting now because I “yelled” at her to move out of my way when I was carrying a heavy bucket of water, and her idea of moving out of my way was two steps directly in front of me, and stopping

You know what messing with routine can do! I am not saying don’t move his dish, just be prepared in case he objects

Conner was on Galliprant for about 6 months, it seemed to work and he didn’t have any issues with it.

XXL chicken

As said, panting, difficulty settling, just looking uncomfortable when he moves/walks. It can be very subtle, and especially with older dogs it can be a gradual increase. I’ve also found that while they may give the GSOD over a blade of grass stuck between their toes (yes, really ) this kind of pain, maybe because it increases gradually, doesn’t get an obvious reaction.

I like it! I am sure Cletus would be a lot more popular than Doug.

I am sure they are entertaining, but I don’t think emus are all that bright (unlike Cletus, entertaining and smart )

And upside down

such a beautiful lady!

I am sorry outside things are making this even harder for you Keeping up your spirits for Nova is so important. Remember, she doesn’t know how sick she is, so as long as the pain is under control, she will be happy if you are. Well, you can’t really be happy, of course, but you know what I mean.

I thought you would get hit for sure, looking at the radar The storm must have known it was Petunia’s birthday and decided not to bother her Happy Birthday Petunia I hope you get fries and ice cream and anything else you want!

I am so sorry, such a terrible shock

I wish the results had been better

I think maybe some of the flat toys don’t squeak? Not sure, but, yeah, after listening to a screaming monkey at 3 a.m. you will be glad to put up with the squeaking edited to add, some people go to Goodwill and buy stuffed children’s toys. No squeakers, but be careful of eyes and things that can come off and be swallowed

Glad you are home Bea
