For dogs a tub of water they can get into and cool off is a big help. (A mess if they aren't outside) For both cats and dogs we have frozen two liters of water for them to lay against, damp towels work too. Ice cubes in their water bowl; the chicken really liked that one. By the way all of these thing work for we humans, too!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06530748998376076224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-18390249561428905592016-07-23T23:03:26.469+01:002016-07-23T23:03:26.469+01:00Animals can be very messy, but they are like child...Animals can be very messy, but they are like children and look to their people for all their care.

She responded by saying that it's a privilege to have and look after an elderly dog. I've thought about this since and of course she's right as many dogs in this world never get old do they.

Could well be the heat affecting rocky, I have a 15month old terrier who is usually quite manic but heat even got to her and all she has done is lie around. It is such a hard decision to know when the time has come to say goodbye. They become so much a part of family and Rocky looks very loved.Sue Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13781326089814864049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-90174316877192643752016-07-23T09:14:04.799+01:002016-07-23T09:14:04.799+01:00Happy Rocky is feeling better Ilona.

He still carries his ball out to play but 1-3 balls thrown close and he's through. Some days he won't drop his ball to be thrown but wants lots of petting.Getting deaf yes, getting food picky yes, and this last week he hasn't been jumping on the coach. Sleeps a lot and just generally sweet and content. No potty problems though so that's a plus. Much empathy from me to you.

I read it almost every day and just find it a great little vacation from my life, and beyond that, I find it very helpful to learn new skills and attitudes. I also enjoy comparing your life, weather and village to my life in Arizona. A great way to see the world. Thank you again.

I didn't get chance to comment yesterday but I'm so sorry Rocky's health is declining. It's always hard when our beloved companions get old as their lives are much shorter than ours and we always want more time with them. I think Rocky will let you know when he's had enough but also be guided by your vet. Take care all of you.

But I must say that I am so glad Rocky is feeling a bit better and also glad it has cooled down some. Our cats were a bit lethargic over the last couple of days and I did attribute it to the heat. The air pressure can affect animals as well as us, so that may have been part of it too. Glad you are feeling better too. Ranee (MN) USAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
