Another busy day...
At night we dont take our other big dogs Dexter and Sirius to the pasture of course.. We let them out one at a time. Well Steve or I screwed up and both dogs wound up outside together and they always take off into the woods.. They are 10 and 11 years old this was about 9ish last night. We finally had to go to bed about 630 this morning, We heard them after 10 this morning. Dexter??? Steve was able to help Dexter up the stairs . Sirius just couldn't I sat with him for hours... Finally lifted his back end up and got him inside. They slept all day.. Well again I had to lift Sirius back side 3-4 times for him to get his feet under him.. Hes a long dog, Hes got hips like a Shephard,, Hes got Hip Dysplasia. We have both on Joint suppliments..
I have been in tears all day.. Having to help both stand and them pretty much crying too..
Of course we blame ourselves, The dogs have been roaming the woods there whole life and I'm sure they had a blast chasing deer , rabbits and who knows what else.
Before we let one of them out we will lay eyes on the other... Im hoping that tomorrow they will be doing better..
There are getting there treats with some peanut butter on them..... We have told them both that there running in the woods days are over...
I will totally lose it the day something happens to either one.. Sirius is always by my side, he knows when I am going up or down before I even know it.
Ok back to laying with my Dogs
Hugs to anyone in need
