Hello all

Just joined in the hope of talking to people who have more experience of managing old dogs than me.

I did have 2 dogs, 12/13 years old, our miniature yorkie died last week (I'd had him 8 years) and my remaining dog, a staffy, has really gone downhill.

I foster dogs also, and have a cat. I've just retired so have more time for the animals.

Hope all are well and I look forward to learning and contributing to the forum

Welcome to the forum. I'm sorry for the loss of your Yorkie, and that your Staffie isn't doing well. Well done for fostering - it's so valuable, and something I'm considering doing myself one day.

Hello and welcome. I'm sorry for your loss.

Hello and welcome, I have an oldie too at 13½.

Thank you for your comments. Life is rather hellish at the moment so knowing people understand and empathise means a lot

I enjoy it but bloody hell it's hard work. Emotionally, and physically sometimes too. But absolutely worth it
