The sad part of pet ownership—The sad update
See my post at end for the update.
We are probably done traveling for a while, and the longer the better in this case.
Our 12 year-old female Sheltie has tumors in her bladder. No fixing it, but we are trying a couple of medicines which may make it easier for her to void for a while.
She can’t urinate in a normal position and is incontinent at times or urgently needs to go, so she ends up with wet legs all of the time and we need to bathe her daily.
Just more than we want to deal with on the road. At home, she’s free to roam the farm and she can sit in her shady spots and go when she needs to. Easier on her and on us.
She’ll miss the trips and hiking as much as we will.
