Woke up this morning at 3:30 to the sound of my dog piddling on the carpet again. He has totally given up even trying to make it outside, he has lost control of his bladder and walks around piddling all over the place. He has a nerve degeneration problem in his back end. He has been incontenent for over a year now probably 2. We would have to pick up his poops each morning and clean the carpet. But he was a happy dog. He still enjoyed get outside and playing, barking at the neighbors dog. The last two weeks though have shown a drastic change in his mood. He doesn't even care to go outside at all. When he is lying down and I pet him he doesn't even bother to lift his head up, or respond in anyway. He cares very little for the food we give him sometimes even leaving it for a while before eating it.

I am so sad and feel guilty about the fact that I am going to call the vet and make an appointment to have him put down. But I don't know what else to do. He isn't happy, he can't do what he needs to do to be happy cause his back end just doesn't want to cooperate. He is imbarrassed by what is happening. I feel like...bull pucky.
