What would you do when your pet gets old?

It is a very sad incident. If I was in your position,I will be crying for days.Pets become just like another family member.You will have to give more care and attention to your pet.

Let me just comfort you by saying that at 6 years old your dog has many years to go. My dog was nearly 14 years old when we had to put her down. I will tell you it is not an easy thing, in fact it was quite sad. My dog who was a wonderful active dog, who had always been in good shape first started to lose her bladder control at around age 13. I loved her and she was otherwise healthy. She could hold it during the day, she just could not hold it all night any more. I just accepted that every morning that I would have to get up and wash the floor everyday. But within that year things started to get worse. It finally got to the point where she started falling down, and could not get back up again. It was the saddest and hardest thing I ever had to do, but I knew that out of my love for her she had to be put down. She could no longer walk without falling. This was a little over a year ago, it still breaks my heart to think about and I miss her so much. It is not easy, there is nothing easy about it. But the many years of love I had with her was worth the pain. I am better off for having had her and loved her. Of course I wish she was still here with us, and I still cry frequently, but in the end I knew I gave her a good life, and I always did what was best for her, and in return she gave me a lot of love. There is no way to make it easier. But pets are worth it.
