Many prayers and hugs :bighug

 

The lesson I learned from my beloved Runner was to enjoy the moment, for that is all we have. Not the way I wanted to learn to totally live in the moment, but it is a lesson well learned. :bighug

Poor girl. Is she having little seizures, maybe?

I'm keeping you both in my thoughts, DeVon.

 

I don't know if it's like mini seizures or brief episodes where the blood just isn't getting to the brain as well. The last time I had her in for a wellness check, the vet just shook his head and couldn't believe she's still here. She's got so much regurge from those worn out heart valves that he said she's really high risk for a stroke because blood will pool and clot when not pumping properly :(

 

She's got no visible signs of fluid retention right now. Since she's such a lean dog, it would be easy to notice. No coughing either. She's had a decent day today, and eaten well for the most part. She still gets her daily car rides taking Amber to work and picking her up. We usually take the long way home so she can really let those ears flap in the wind :nod

 

Her eyes do look more 'tired' for lack of a better description. We'll just keep cherishing every moment we get with her. :wub:

Glad today was a better day. Hope you have many more.

My 13 year old chow has periods of senility. Sometimes I will find her with her head facing the corner and she doesn't seem to realize where she is. She still goes out with me 2x day when I feed the horses and other critters. Sometimes when I open the door for her to go out she goes on the wrong side of the door and ends up in the house but behind the door. I have to lead her back around the door to get her out.

Hope your old girl can hang in there and have many ear flapping rides!

Glad it was a better day. :hope:grouphug

Greyhound angels at the bridge- Casey, Charlie, Maggie, Molly, Renie, Lucy & Teddy. Beagle angels Peanut and Charlie. And to all the 4 legged Bridge souls who have touched my heart, thank you. When a greyhound looks into you eyes it seems they touch your very soul.

Just came across this thread. So sorry you're going through all of that. Hope you are doing alright. Sending whatever strength I can, and good thoughts for you and all of your pets, here or on the other side. Hopefully memories of the good times can help get you through this.
