We have three dogs, one Beagle who is 9 years old, and two sisters who are half German Shepherd and half Black Lab, who are 12 years old.
They are all so sweet, so smart, and now getting problems that old dogs get.
We had to take one of the sisters to the vet today. We are starting her on medication for inflammation, but it doesn't look good. She is having problems with her hind legs and can't get around very well.
We will be basket cases if we have to eventually put her to sleep. But, we will keep lugging her 100 pounds up and down the stairs as long as our backs hold out and as long as she is not in pain or suffering.
Putting her to sleep with be a LAST resort.
Have fun with the cat. Pet lovers are good people.

You do notice the box is not entirely on the table don't you ? I'm just waiting for it to drop...
Debbie, hang in on there. I know it's hard to let go of a beloved companion-of-many-years, just give her the best love and cuddlings and enjoy your closeness. My old woofie had more or less the same thing (paralysed hind legs due to arthritis in the spine) yet she still had many beautiful months with the simians and felines she was so fond of before something else suddenly took her away. Just support her, she'll adapt the way our Critter did and have fun nonetheless.
