I bet Spike's glad you can't get the medicine in his ears :) give him a scratch from me.Yes, I know - I lost a dogfriend once - and I wasn't even the owner but still miss him ten years on.Still, for now tell Spike how you feel. Maybe there are pet-sharing schemes in your part of the world ? (someone at home in the daytime shares a pet with a fitter person who can provide exercise but is out all day). A neighbour of mine does it and the dog loves it - once he got acustomed to 2 homes - is always with someone. > Date: Sun, 25 Dec 2011 23:27:29 -0700 > From: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: virus stops PD > To: [log in to unmask] > > yes, Amanda, but Spike is now 13-1/2 years old, has pancreatitis and I fear > I'll lose him soon.
