I promised my Mom that if our dog got sick or the decision had to be made that I'd do it and we'd just tell my Dad he went peacefully sleeping in the yard. I think it would be devastating for my Dad, they've become absolute best friends as they've become older.
The vet gave me some meds for his legs, it isn't anything neurological they say, it's just arthritis. He's been slowly improving over the last couple days and can get up the stairs again like before. In fact when I kind of press him along to do it he can move pretty good... so I think he's just being ginger with it.
I think he will do just fine... but I really hope that this isn't the start of him... degenerating into a state where my parents have to make a call on him. I'd sooner he just go peacefully in the yard. As sad as my Dad would be knowing his little guy went peacefully in the yard they enjoyed many memories in would give him piece of mind he went that way.
