20 weeks…….

today…   and the last few weeks haven’t been that great.  :O(

I’m seeing a decline…  I’m trying to get Franklin to put a pound or two back on.. just so that he is not so boney!!  lol   Even if he doesn’t put it on, he is on a higher protein food than Maggie because he burns it off quicker of course.  I have to admit.. he is loving the new food.. 

I’ve noticed that Franklin’s joints on his three legs are a little larger than normal.. I mean.. what can you do if the osteo has started to attack the remaining joints?    Nothing.. ..  but love him to death and help him when he needs help.  I have vowed that this pup will not suffer a day and when he lets me know it is time.. it will be time..  I will  not be selifish about this.. I promise.

Last night he fell going up the stair of the deck.. and he was pretty wobbly on his feet after that.   I Massaged him down.. loved him up and then he took off running!  go figure!  Maybe he is playing with me and thinking.. “hey… if I kinda act a little wobbly here.. I will get an awesome massage… hmmm wonder how many times I can do this”?  lol

He is slower getting up off his bed… and he is starting to show signs of his age..

My son called me the other day.. Franklin fell getting down off the couch.. and now my son has measured the tv room, and we are re-arranging it so that he and my sweetie can build a ramp so Franklin can get up and down off the couch on a ramp…   what does this tell you that this dog has done to our hearts…

Crazy pooch.. has us all wrapped around his front right paw pinkie!

bark atcha later!
