what to do..??

Hello Amarili and welcome to myLot! I know how it feels to see your best friend becoming old. It is so hearbreaking! And when he starts to feel pain in his joints it will be even more painful to see him suffering. Enjoy every moment with him now, that he is healty. Don't think about the moment when he will have to go. You will have enough time to cry when he is gone. How old is he?

ooohh, thats so touching, as you can see most people would agree that you just have to enjoy the time you have with him, and even when hes gone he'll still be with you, photos and memories will help that...

i feel the same way about my dog.. and have had the same thoguhts and i decided to do just waht you said and just enjoy every day that i have left with my lil jack russell she is such a sweetheart and i know i will miss her so when she is gone. but for now there is still pleanty of good times left ahead to enjoy..

Hi amarili! Just like everything in life we live, enjoy life and then we pass. Please continue to enjoy the days you do have your dog with you and do not think about the last moments. When the time comes it will be sad but you will remember your dog in your heart.

and that is all you can do enjoy the time you do have make many more memories and dont take a single day for granted and let him know he's loved. Thats what i do everyday with my boy

After this dog will not just be you will remember the beautiful moments spent together, you look at the pictures and this will help pass more easily over the loss. I do not know how well it's another to take your dog for you will always compare with each other.

Just like human beings, animals have their life span also. In order to mitigate that sad event of finally losing your dog, you might as well get yourself a puppy to take care of, so that by the time you old dog will die, you have another one that could replace his place in your heart.
