We got our dog Molly in August of 2009. She's a brown merle (varigated shades of brown) schnoodle, half poodle & half schnauzer. She's been in fairly good health until this last year. On our way home from Florida after Christmas last year, we had to stop in Kentucky at an emergency animal hospital. She was diagnosed with a collapsing trachea. With some anti-anxiety meds we were able to complete our trip home. Then in June 2022 she was diagnosed with diabetes. We have to give her 2 shots of insulin a day and we've cut back on her treats, sugars & carbs. We'd just gotten into a reasonable routine for her when she started bumping into things. She now has cataracts too. Apparently it's a pain for dogs to get older just like it is for people! We've been working with her to give her vocal & touch cues to navigate her world as her vision declines. We've learned that we can help her through each day
with love and extra attention for as long as she's with us, giving her the best quality of life possible.
