How is everyone's senior doing?
Rocky is hanging in there. he has been better after a lull just before Christmas. he is overall getting weaker in the back-end. I am overly cautious about how he eats (standing VS sitting) and how long. He handles the cold weather like a champ but we've done a complete change in weather which I hope is what has him weaker this week. He was quite low yesterday and this morning :( Low: his back legs bend and his tail is touching the ground - i gage how much tail is touching to evaluate how bad). Now, he doesn't seem to be in any pain but it cannot stand seeing it when he gets really low. It really affects me I may yell at him to lay down :P I know I know, bad momma.
We are trying home cooked again, 1/4 of each meal is home cooked. Finding my routine in that. So far no issues with his tummy so this is seeming better than the "home cooked on weekends" plan I had tried.
His progression isn't what I expected. I figured he'd not be able to get up or not be able to walk. But instead his just gets lower and lower. Which, honestly, might make it all the harder. If this is how it happens we may just keep going until I can't stand to see him so low so much of the time (he is not always low, but the "periods of being low" are more regular).
Otherwise no real issues. I hate to jinx it but no real poop-cidents since before my parents were here for the holidays (mid-december)
