Bad Heart and Hip

I thought that Harley's heart condition was the biggest problem. However, yesterday, she was out in the yard with me and she fell while trying to take a poop and couldn't get up. It was so sad.

I want to get her a wheelchair, but I'm still researching. Not sure how she will get up the front step or go to the bathroom though. And, if I have to take it off of her to go, that defeats the purpose. Not sure what to do!

Old age really stinks!

Going Downhill

Harley seems to be going downhill more and more every day. She really has a hard time walking and she either falls or slides all over. The rubber boots I bought her rubbed her paw, so I had to remove them after a week. We can't seem to find a good solution for her.

I bought her a bed at TJ Maxx that is supposed to help Arthritis, but she doesn't even want to lay on it. It's an inflatable bed with a nice sheepskin cover. I think she just has to get used to it.

This is the 4th of July weekend and I will actually be off for 3 days, so we are going to do some yardwork. I think Harley will enjoy having me home.
