Our neighbor informed us today he is going to buy the Winnebago. I know he and his family will enjoy it. He is a hard worker and deserves some R&R.

I have some news that is not so good about Peaches. Her dementia is getting worse and she is really having a hard time with potty duties. It's as if she doesn't know she is going to the bathroom sometimes as she is just standing there when it happens. Tonight she pooped as she was walking as if she didn't know what she was doing. Maybe its time to send her to the bridge, but it is so hard when she still acting as if she isn't in any pain or should I say not suffering. She is weak in her hips and has a hard time climbing steps. She has a hard time laying down trying to get in the right position so as not to hurt herself in the process. Sue and I have talked tonight and she thinks it is time, me, I just don't know yet.

Richard one of my cockers was doing that too, we had x-rays done and discovered that he had a fused spine on his back end. He never really acted like he was in pain, but he couldn't jump up on the furniture or any thing like that. We just thought it was because he was getting fat (adrenal problems ) but x-rays proved otherwise. Also he had a problem with going completely and would just go standing like you say Peaches is doing.
I don't know how long Peaches has had this problem, but you might want to check into that.
