My dog, Cash, has an appointment at the vet today for grooming and shots. He’s 11 years old now, so we’re seeing some changes in his capabilities. He was so excited to go on a car ride. I opened the door for him and he jumped in like he always does; however, this time he didn’t make it all the way in. I was able to pick up his hips and help him in the car. Luckily, he didn’t get hurt. This is the first time he wasn’t able to jump into the car. It’s sad and worrisome. I won’t be able to pick him up every time. He’s 88 pounds, which is a lot to carry. This is probably the beginning of some of the problems that senior dogs encounter. It was so hard to watch that happen, but I knew it would be coming soon.

Sad to hear. My puppy is older and being treated palliatives you. Yeah I have to help him in car – but he enjoys his life as yet. You may have a while yet. I hope so.

He will be around for a while, as long as he enjoys life. If only they could stay with us forever.

My oldest dog is 12 now and he can no longer jump on the bed to sleep with me like he used to. He also has issues getting into the car so I bought him a pair of steps and that helps him a ton to get in.
