    My dog was 16 when her hind legs started to fail and she lost her bowels. I did use disposable diapers at night to keep floors clean. I also covered areas with potty papers. It got to the point where it was very painful to watch her struggle. I canceled the appointment to put her down 3 times. It was the hardest thing I had to do. And there is still a void in my soul. She was my best friend for almost 17 years.

      Very hard to be in Jamie's position loving Sherpa as he does abd also be Sherpas rock at the same time. I've always said is one of the hardest things in life is to witness your devoted and faithful unwavering companion growing older. And for those reasons, I know in my case I wouldn't have wanted anyone one else in my place. In my mind that job was meant for me and no one else. I will be there for my dog and be for him what my dog has always been for me. Sherpa and Jamie have always been here for us to make us smile and give us a reason to get out and make happiness wherever it may be and now I think the least we can do is be here for Jamie in return for sharing his one of a kind husky with so many people all over this wild and crazy world.

    My 14 year old dog did the exact same thing towards the end of his life. He kept falling over while trying to poop. He would fall right into it. I bought dry shampoo to help with clean ups. He would also just fall down while walking. One day he fell and looked at me in a different way. I could tell in his eyes he was done in that moment. He was already on lots of pain meds to keep him comfortable but his look said it all. I took him the next day to be put to sleep. It was devastating but I knew he needed to keep his dignity and he was done fighting. It’s breaking my heart watching Sherpa seemingly do the exact same thing. I hope they can figure something out for him but he is also a very old dog for his size so be prepared. It sucks and I’m sorry he’s taken such a bad turn. My heart goes out to you both.

      We went through the exact same thing with our 14 y/o golden retriever some months ago. We were gutted by how much he aged in his last six months, and by the end he was mostly just sleeping his day away. When we took the decision to ease his passing, it was almost like he was relieved to finally be rid of his aches and pains. Grief is the price we pay for a lifetime of love and memories. ❤‍🩹❤

    Dear Jamie, Sherpa is your baby boy. He's that child who is always happy to see dad when you come home. Give you a cheeky response during conversations. Always ready for an adventure when he hears you grab the car keys. I know it's difficult to see his up & down swings. As our big breed dogs age, they do experience difficulty with their hind quarters, heavy panting and reduction in appetite. Please know that your unconditional love, attention, and compassion throughout Sherpa's upbringing is most honorable. You are a great dog dad. You succeed everyday in giving him a beautiful quality of life. Love you both 💖💖!

    Sherpa chose you for a reason, he knew of the connection between you two. We take our pets from babies to adults to seniors and it happens so fast. All we can do is appreciate them as long as they are with us. Sherpa will let you know when it''s time. Harsh but realistic advice: Try not to let your personal wants and needs interfere with what he is telling you. That's the hardest part. Lots of love from a companion of many animals through the years.

    Jamie, I don't know if you tried it already but here in Germany we are having an injection that an elderly dog can get every month and it did make our dog really strife and get old in a happy way so far. He is a bit smaler than Sherpa, almost 16 now, a really old and good boy and for the last 2 years, it kept him alive and well. Without it, he would be long gone. The injection does cost roughly a hundred Euros per month but it really helps. Maybe that is a thing in the UK too. It helps against pain. Our dog has problems with his hip and hind legs too. Sometimes he has a hard time to get up and walk.
    Wish you luck and praying for Sherpa. ❤

      Is the injection called Librella? It's available here in Canada too, I recently tried it for my senior dog and she was running around like a puppy again after one injection. Unfortunately after her second injection, we found out something much more sinister going on in her body just like Sherpa.. cancer.
      Had to say goodbye 5 days later.
      Initially, I thought the decline was just her age and arthritis, but that's not always the case. Cancer can sneak up fast 💔

    I’m going through the same thing with my Husky girl right now. She’s 15 or 16 years old. She walks too, but her hind quarters are just as weak as Sherpa. She paces most of the night around the house. Last night she went outside and slept comfortably for hours in the cool air. It’s hot here right now in Southern California. Since she can’t see or hear very much it’s hard on her. One would of caution, my girl can get herself trapped in places, if unattended. She panics and cries for help, I come running to help her. I feel your pain, she is my best friend. I hand feed her as well as helping her drink water, she won’t lay down and eat, you are lucky there. We love are friends, just as much as they love us. ❤

    Very similar experience when my ❤dog, Mac, was 13. He was a corgi, so it started with not being able to go up stairs, then couldn’t get down them either. Eventually he was unable to get up at all to even drink or go potty, and he’d be laying in a puddle of his own making. Everything about it was hard. We said goodbye to him at home, and gave him a beer to drink, which he was a Welshman through and through and loved himself a strong ale. Even the vet, who came to our house to help say goodbye, laughed and cried with us and we sent him to the Bridge in the best way for him. Sherpa has touched many of us, and we thank you for sharing your adventure with your best mate with us. You and Sherps will know when it’s time, he will let you know.
