Do you guys get your dogs teeth cleaned and if so how often?
Ah, ok. Sorry - very observant. The littlest Siff is a Razorback.The collar appears to have a razorback on it.
Have had a couple friends lose their old dogs recently and our little guy is likely not too far behind. Part of being in that age group where you’re 10-15 years out of college and the dog you got when you went out on your own is now 10-15 years old as well.
I’ve never had to do this, but it might be time to put my 17 year old poodle down. He has at least one tumor in his neck since at least January 5th. He’s been truckin’ along just fine but over the last two weeks has steadily lost interest in food and hasn’t had a proper meal since Friday. The little guy still drinks plenty of water and will move around with relative ease when I put him out for a pee break...but I am wondering how long to let him carry on. I’ve never had to put a dog down before. How do you know when it’s the right time? I’ve had him since 2004 and I am going to miss the little guy.

Really sorry to hear but you all did the right thing. Dogs are the best, and we really don't deserve them. I was never a dog person until ours showed up on our front porch six years ago, and now I get it. Sounds like he spent some really good years with you all.We put him down tonight. Over dinner we told the kids that the time was coming soon and that maybe that should say good bye, and less than an hour later He had some sort of seizure and his back legs completely stopped working. He was really scared and in pain i think. My wife called our neighbor who is a vet and they came over to put him down. All happened as the deacs were entering overtime. I am kind or wrecked.
