So I have to put my dog down. She has dementia, exhibited by severe anxiety all night long. It’s excruciating for me, and for her, I think. Many days, Chelsea seems like a happy dog. She is completely deaf, has lost all hearing. Sometimes she gets disoriented, because she’s losing her
senses, The only way to get her to eat is to cook fresh meals for her, several times a day. She’s always been an extremely picky eater, but in the last months, she has refused to eat anything except chunks of chicken or fish (cooked especially for her.) Now I can’t even serve her the cold chicken anymore. I have to warm it up in a skillet and add some spices. My son said it has to look so good that you want to eat it yourself.
In the night, no matter what I do, Chelsea cannot settle enough to sleep. Don’t know how either one of us are doing it at this point. Chelsea pants and paces all night long.
At first tranquilizers and putting Chelsea in a kennel at night worked. Now it no longer works. So, it’s time to
make that impossible decision.
Everyone is going through something right now. Some silently, some screaming at the top of their lungs. What’s happening in your world right now? Do you want some help with it? Join us for Meditation this week. We are all just walking each other home. See you Tuesday at Noon ET and/or Wednesday at 6 pm ET.
