How are you today?

Well got Bob off to the nursing home - I mean rehab. Today took more stuff to him, then went to look at Dan's car, its totaled, the insurance company values it at $2800, the tow guy offers to buy it for $3000.00 Um I came home to find that my 16 going on 17 year old dog has fallen and can't get up. In transferring her from the floor to the couch she pissed on me.

Our vet closes at 5 pm and there is no emergency vet anymore, they closed their doors several months ago.

Anyway, she can move her hind legs if I touch her back by the base of her tail. She doesn't resist when I move her hind feet upward, or try to pull away. Trying to stand her up and her toes curl up under, so she tries to walk on the tops. I did manage to get her on her legs, but she started the slow laying down telling me she is too weak or too tired to stand.

She eats if we put food right at her mouth, refuses to lift her head.

I'm hoping that she laid down on the cold floor and laid to long and will feel better, and move more if she remains off the floor and on her couch.

Yeah I know, dogs don't live for ever, and she is well over 16 and heading for 17.

Doesnt matter what the insurance company says its worth. Your friend can sue for full retail price for that vehicle, since the tow company destroyed it. That means if your friend goes on Carmax.com or any other used car site and looks for his type of vehicle on thier websites, prints out the information and uses it to sue the tow company (at least three different sites/printouts), he can get the full used retail price for the vehicle, not just the price the insurance company will give him.

Glad Bob is in the nursing home/hospital/whatever it is........you can get some sleep now and catch up on your shit.

Poor doggy. Sounds like what my baby went through when she got old. I had her for 19 years, and she was fully grown when she found me.....so I dont know what her true age was. She got decrepit and could barely walk, she pretty much pulled herself along the linoleum floor with one paw, when she did move that is. Had to put her food right in front of her face to eat too. Ended up having to put her down. It killed me. It killed a big huge chunk of me.

I hope your doggy gets better though. You've had enough to deal with this year.
Dont need a sick doggy.
