Your husband has spent the day removing the lounge carpet because your elderly dog has had several 'wee accidents' on the floor. Last month he removed the hall carpet because of the same reason. We are now going to have to live on bare boards while she is still with us as no point in replacing anything. Has anyone else had to do this?
She just forgets to ask to go out so its like having a puppy again.

when our small border terrier was to old to jump up on to our bed, i used to get down on all fours and become a step. trouble was the staffs noticed and started to wait for me to get down so it was less effort for them also :lol: I still get down for old poppy.
-
Oh bless. The things we do eh?
-
when they never bring the ball back but you go and fetch it and then throw it again for them.
when they drop a toy off the sofa and whine so you bend down and get it for them.

You move from the sofa when you know you are sitting in their favourite spot :005: :005: :005: :005:
-
When you spend a fortune on dog food and still wonder if you bought the right stuff while having baked beans for your tea. :005:
-
You go out in all weathers, even in the dark because you feel guilty if you miss a walk!
-
You tell him off for his constant barking, and miss it so much when it's not there. :'( And who can forget that wagging back end when he wags his tail and the whole lot wags? :luv:
-
You don't get up off the sofa to get a drink/make tea/go to the toilet because you don't want to wake the sleeping cockers on your knee :005:
-
You sit on the edge of the chair because you don't want to disturb them.

... or sit on the very edge of the chair (as I am doing now) because Jinley has climbed on to sit behind me :005: :005:
-
All of the above ;) :luv: :005:
-
... you are breathing ;)
-
Yes I do most of the above plus lying on the smallest edge of the bed whilst Seve enjoys stretching snuggles in the bed, then trying not to disturb him so end up almost hanging out! :luv:
Whose the clever one here then?!!
-
:005: :005:Yep we do all the same things. Stopping dozens of times on the walk, cos that's where he likes to have a wee bless him :luv:

U take a sharp corner in the car and you get a good whiff of your wet smelly cocker in the back. That makes me smile!!

when.........when he's running like the wind, tail wagging so fast it's hitting his ribs.
-
when.......you don't shave a very scruffy beard off (despite my wifes protests) because your cocker likes nibbling at it.
-
out in public you are heard saying
" if you must eat pooh, atleast eat your own" :fear2:
-
... you buy a house with garden just for the dogs, as if it was just me a little studio flat somewhere would be more than enough. :shades: :005:
-
when you record the rugby as the little angel want her walk NOW

........it's 9 o'clock at night, it's dark, wet, windy and I am stood in the woods after at the night walk chatting to dogs telling my Sash what beautiful good girl she is and how much she lives up to her name Sasha Belle. Just to make sure I don't leave Chloe, springer, out as I love her too, I can't believe a found myself telling her (in the same wood at the same time) that she has really been springing well tonight and so gracefully! :005: :005:

When you move in a horrid modern house as your oldie boy is unable to do the steep stairs in your Victorian house

Couldn't do that here or I would have a wet patch on the sofa ;) & not of Minstrel's doing :005:

You take the wooden legs of the arm chair to lower it, the arm chair the auld lad likes to sit in cose he cant climb up onto it any more. Then even now he cant get on it so he waits and looks and knows I will do my firemans lift and gently place him onto the chair into his favourite position. You have given me 14 years of love, friendship and joy nothing it too much trouble now in your Autumn years.

Lovely replies. Our latest one is getting up 1 - 3 times in the night because our old lady needs to go out for a wee. Weekend lie ins a thing of the past because she gets restless past 5.30am.
-
We do that as well. OH does the during the night wees and I get up at 6 or earlier to give Charlie his heart meds, and stay up and spend some just me time with auld lad, and I stay up a bit later at night to coax a poo before going to bed. Wouldnt be able to sleep to have a lie in I am well and truly trained.

When you carry your old boy upstairs every night because he can no longer manage the stairs :luv: And once he's up there you lift him onto the bed because he likes to cuddle up to you until daddy comes to bed!! Oh and also he can gloat because Ralph has to sleep in his crate :005:
We'd do anything for our Ozzy :luv:
