Kim, Mozzie, Max, Marley, Miggy, Magnum, Milo, & Mr Grant
Kim, sometimes people are jerks especially when they make comments. They are communicating through a computer screen but they don’t realize how much negative comments are damaging. You have done so much for Mr. Grant. You have loved him and cared about him. You should be proud of everything you have accomplished. You are an awesome schnauzer mom.
I agree❤
I so agree with you about Mr. Grant you have always done what’s best for your dogs and you will do that for him too it’s tough to watch but I understand because I would be thinking exactly the same
I went through this three times already, but all the joy they brought was well worth the experience at the end of their lives.
Poor old Mr Grant. Kim you have cared for him so well. X
Kim, people who haven't lived through dementia don't understand it. They think the dog should be put down the minute they are diagnosed with this cruel disease. But you said it so well. Even with dementia, Mr Grant still had quality in his life for a long time with your great care, looking out the window and doing his hip hops. He was still there, somehow present inside all of that confusion. But you, who know him so well, understand that the disease progression reaches a point where quality of life is not there.. Kim, this is such a hard decision, but trust your gut, your heart is in the right place. You have done so much for Mr Grant and given him the best life possible. Know that your community is behind you and is holding you close in prayer & thought regardless of your very difficult decision..
Kim, I just wanted to share with you my experience with my last schnauzer. She went through the same dementia as Mr. Grant. She was 15, she would walk small circles until she would lay down exhausted. If I took her outside on a leash, she walked circles in the yard too. She lost control of her bowels and peeing. We started keeping her in our laundry room area, and put down a tarp on the floor because she would poop and continue walking in circles, tracking all through the poop and tracking it on the floor. We would have to bathe her, and then clean up the floor. I did not use diapers - I don't think I knew they existed for dogs. This was in 2015. She was still eating and drinking. I allowed this to go on about 4 months. My husband was an angel, because he was home and I was at work, and he had to deal with the cleaning up a lot. I finally came to the point that I felt she was not having any quality of life, living mostly in a laundry room, and walking in circles constantly until she had to just lay down. It was so hard, but I made the decision to let her go. I have felt guilt, wondering if I should have waited, but I know it was not going to get better. I miss her now, after 9 years she's still part of my heart and will be forever. Kim, do not feel any guilt for whatever decision you have to make. You have given Mr. Grant a wonderful home, and the best care he could get in his senior years. You are definitely a wonderful dog Mom! God Bless you.
This is the hardest part of being a dog owner. I’m sorry, Kim.
Also, when you share vulnerable things, give yourself permission to turn comments off if you think people won’t be kind. You deserve kindness. You’ve done so much to see that MrGrant got good golden years. Hugs!!
You’re the best dog owner ever! Poor mr Grant. ❤
Kim people can be so rude. They have no idea how much love and support you have given Mr Grant. He loved being part of the boys. He knows you loved him. Mr Grant loved living in your home. He has had a blast living with the best schnauzer mom. Thank you for adopting him, loving him, and caring for him. Hugs Kim.
God bless his little soul. You do what needs to be done.
It's hard but all of us dog lovers go thru sooner or later, prayers for the family ❤
My heart goes out to you and Mr Grant. I used to rescue a lot of senior schnauzers that had health issues. It's not an easy task taking care of these babies babies
Precious boy. It is heartbreaking watching our babies grow old but take comfort that your family gave him his best life since you rescued him. Prayers 🙏❤
My 15 year old schnauzer crossed the rainbow bridge in July. I should have let him go sooner but I selfishly held on.
I found this writing as we were in the end stage of his life.
A day too soon is better than a moment too late. As hard as it is, remember that animals do not think about death nor fear it, they live wholly in the 'now'. He will always be with you and a part of you, so he will never be truly 'gone
So true. My schnauzer went to rainbow bridge q2/5/2022. He lives in my heart and my memories.
I am so sorry Kim. You gave him good happy years and I hope your memories will bring you comfort. Best Schnauzer Mom. Do not belive anything else to the contrary.
This is beautiful 😭 Thank you. Made me feel better about saying goodbye to my soul dog (an amazing schnauzer) over a year ago. As hard as it was, it was the right time. She had oral cancer that could no longer be helped and we did all we could. We never want to say goodbye. I didn’t want her to go not being able to breathe from it and I would have been without a car. One car literally broke down right after we said goodbye. ❤
Prayers for Mr. Grant. This breaks my heart. You and your husband gave him such a wonderful rest of his life. Praying for y'all during this difficult time losing a pet is VERY HARD.
You are a wonderful Schnauzer Mum , and you have given so much love to Mr Grant , you and your family will make the right decision.
It’s never easy when the time comes sending love ❤️ to you all .🐾💕🙏
Oh Kim…..I didn’t realize he had progressed to this point. My heart aches for you all. He really acts like he’s had some neurological event….you have given him a FABULOUS life with you. No one knows him like you all do and YOU WILL make the best decision….for you all. We’re praying for you. God bless. 💖🐾🐾🙏 Susan M
So sorry for you and Mr. Grant! But thanks for sharing, it helps others to understand. 😢
Hi Kim,
I’m so sorry to hear about Mr. Grant and dementia. It’s really hard and I empathize with you. Someone else commented that you have done so much for him.
This past year, our 14 year old black schnauzer, Linus, developed dementia. He would go to his water dish and drink large amounts of water, then immediately bark to be let outside. He would come right back in, lie down for about five minutes, then go back over to the water dish and the cycle would begin again. He would repeat this all evening. We started giving him medication, which calmed him down, allowed him to sleep, and broke the cycle for that evening.
Linus gradually got weaker as months passed and eventually he was diagnosed with a liver tumor. Everyone told us we would know when it was the right time to say goodbye.
We really, really miss Linus. He was one of a kind. The pain of losing him was only lessened when I got a card from his old vet saying “you did so much for him”.
It is very hard. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
😢 My heart is breaking for you and Mr Grant. Bless his sweet heart. It's so difficult when having to make these decisions. You have given him a wonderful life! I want to give him a big hug and you too! Please know we who love our pets are there with you. ❤❤
Oh Kim , this makes me so sad .We all wish our fur babies lasted forever .We all have to face this one day .Sending so much love to you and Mr.Grant .He knows how much you love him and what you have done for him ....❤
Hi ❤Kim I Send lots of Prayers to Mr. Grant ,you ,and your family. It’s never easy,and so very hard to find the words ,God Bless Mr. Grant. Watching our Babies grow old Is difficult 😞.Mr. Grant has been in the very best of Hands 🙌 he has been well loved 🥰 and ,cared for.All the Best ALWAYS.hugs xoxoxoxoxo .
Mary.
You are DEFINITELY bringing information to the rest of us in showing how real doggy dementia is.
You are showing the dignity, compassion and care of Mr. Grant’s end of life stage.
Though we really want to, we can’t keep these lovely little beings with us forever but we can give them the LOVE and attention till they cross their rainbow 🌈 bridge.
Hugs for you Kim ❤
So sorry for your lose,it's very hard to let our pets go,we have done this 5 times it breaks my heart for you!
People don't realize how hurtful their words are and don't care....my heart goes out to you and Mr Grant ...Don't listen to any negative comments...you have done so much for Mr Grant and the other puppies....your a great Schnauzer Mom...it's heartbreaking 💔
It’s so hard and this is your family decision. Quality of life counts. You’re amazing how you take such good care of your babies.
Sending you, Mr Grant, your family and all the boys so many hugs. I can’t help but cry watching Mr Grant but also know he has been so blessed knowing such love from you, your family and hopefully from all of us too. We all know you’d move mountains for all your family, doggies included. Praying for strength and comfort for all of you. We love you so much Mr Grant, you’re such a special boy 🥹💙💙💙
Kim, I’m so sorry Mr. Grant declined like he did and you had to say your goodbyes. I literally made the decision to make the appointment for my 15 yr old sheltie who we believe had a series of strokes. This morning I found her sitting in her own poop and this is a dog who used to never liked to even get her feet wet! Her pacing has gotten worse and she is no longer the same pup even from 5 month ago. IT BREAKS MY HEART! I’m so sorry for you and like many others who commented that they recently went through the same thing I hope we can find comfort knowing we gave our pets love and the best life ever!❤.
ADDENDUM.You gave Mr.Grant the time he had left in his life a beutiful rest of his life!We who were able to know him are truly fortunate !God bless Grant and give Kim comfort in this time.Amen.
Kim, take comfort in knowing that you did so much to make Mr. Grant's life better. Several years ago I had a schnauzer who developed dementia. At the time, I had no idea this could happen with dogs. She behaved like Mr. Grant, wandering aimlessly around the house. She also developed a heart murmur, which eventually made her very weak and finally unable to eat. That was when I had to make that terrible decision that all dog lovers dread. But you are right, quality of life is important and we have the power to make these decisions for our pets. I appreciate that you are willing to share these experiences. As difficult as it is, it can help to put yourself in your pet's place and ask yourself if you would want to continue under those circumstances. You are a lovely person and your schnauzers are lucky to have you. Pat
Lots of prayers for Mr. Grant. You’ve been an angel to him Kim. Whenever he has to go home he’ll go with lots of love.
I respect you so much for sharing this video. ❤ We k ow Mr. Grant has been loved and lived his best life with your family and the boys. My heart goes out to you all during this time. It’s never easy and you know that. Thank you for showing the truths behind this aging disease. Big hugs and prayers as you guys face your decision. ❤💔🐾❤️🐾
You and your husband have made the best home filled with love for all your dogs. As dog owners we all must make this most difficult of all decisions about our babies. They never leave us and we never forget them. The decision you make will be the best for you both and for Mr. Grant. Love you all.
Kim, you and your family have given Mr. Grant wonderful golden years. I agree with you that living in confusion, and scared is no way for the animal to finish their life. I can't believe anyone could make negative comments, after seeing how much love you show all the boys every single day. I can hear the heartbreak in your voice just taking about how the end for him is close. Prayers for you and your family that you will be at peace with your decision as to when its time. Bless you all.
My husband and I were in this spot a few months ago with our Schnauzer. It's very hard. We are feeling your pain and shedding tears for you. It's the toughest part of having dogs.
Kim, I watched this video with tears running down my face. My heart goes out to you . We love our dogs and it’s so hard to let go. My Bentley suffered with kidney stones. He had several surgeries, but the stones just kept coming back. He was swollen , bleeding and full of stones again. There was nothing we could do. Prayers for you.🙏🏻❤️
Kim, my heart 💔 for the difficult decision the family has to make for Mr. Grant. You rescued him when he needed it once before and I'm sure this is not an easy decision for any of you to rescue him once again. God bless 🙏 all of you and know that we'll be there with you in spirit. ❤😢
Praying for you Mr. Grant....you are special.💞
So thankful you took the time, how painful it was, but you still took the time, to show us dog dementia. Totally appreciate you, your family and your fur babies. Please know you have been in my thoughts, prayers and heart as you deal with Mr. grants passing.
Kim, You & Your Husband are The Absolute Best at taking Great Care of these Boys & Especially Mr. Grant, he has had the Upmost Best all round Care & Attention in every way Possible! I am on my #7 Last Schnauzer in 35 yrs. & my #6 Boy Rizz had Seizures when he was about 2 yrs. Until he was 8yrs. Old & it just hurts sooo much to see them in these ways even with all the Meds. 7 help that you can give them. We had hard days like you, he was in my Heart like Your Maggie ! We had to let Rizz go when his Seizures was at a point on a uncontrollable everyday, so I know the Heart Ache it is to have to make these decisions. I want You to know I Love You so much & I will be praying for your Heart’s Comfort thru this time. I support your Decision & Care 100% for Mr. Grant & You just know You are the Best Schnauzer Mom ever ! Hugs & Love to You, Rebecca Herlocker 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm sitting here watching this video with my Mini Schnauzers 3 yrs & 15yrs. My senior pup is slowing down & is showing his age in other ways, requiring my help more & more as time passes. You & Mr.Grant are teaching me what to expect & how to handle the inevitable cycle of life with grace & respect. I'm sorry for Grant & your family and also appreciative of your strength & ability to share this in a video to help the rest of us Schnauzer owners/lovers as we all must deal with the same, some sooner than later.
I'm sorry Kim. I went through that with my 16 year old schnauzer. The sweetest girl ever. It's hard. Up all night pacing, medicated, peeing in the house and just lost. We did everything for her and it never got better and it was my duty to help her pass to the other side for some peace. Take care.
You have done so well by him and have given Grant the best years of his life. It is so sad at the end and is impossible to know when the right time to help him move on. You are right, he is not living his best life but rather suffering in this state of dementia. Prayers for you in this difficult time.
Hi Kim
I have been the fortunate mother to seven Westies. My husband and I are now retired and all are beautiful kids have gone on. We saw every one of them to the end of their life and twice, we experienced what you are now experiencing with Mr Grant. It’s hard and kind at the same time to let go. Wishing you well.
I am so glad that Mr. Grant was in a loving and caring environment as he progressed through his illness. I sincerely thank you for sharing this with all of us. You are appreciated, and blessings will flow because of the love and understanding you showed to one of God's creatures.
RIP Mr. Grant. Im sorry for your loss
God bless you and your family and Mr. Grant.
Awww poor Grant. He has had a wonderful life with you. My prayers are with you🙏
Kim, our precious Bevo developed dementia in his last 6 months of life. He was half his weight from an intestinal disease and blind from cataracts. It was the hardest decision my husband and I had to make but the kindest and loving thing for to let him go. Prayers and God's comfort are with you. Remember you all gave him the best life. ❤
I’m writing this with tears in my eyes. Thank you for sharing info on Doogy Dementia with us. You said it best when you said he’s not living his best life. I’ve been in your place and had to make the difficult decision. My vet and I decided it was best to let her go. His story before you is so sad. You and your family have made his senior years incredible. He’s ready to cross the Rainbow Bridge. We love you Mr. Grant.
I'd never known what a dog with dementia would act like. My grandfather passed as a result of it, and that was my only real exposure to it first-hand. Grant is a beautiful old soul. ❤️
You are so brave and giving and you look out for Mr Grant and for all of us and our pups. You could have taken the easy road and withheld all of this from us and just told us he passed one day. You could have put Mr Grant down as soon as you got the diagnosis. But you care so much about doing what is RIGHT by Mr Grant and what is helpful to all of us that you are willing to risk trolls and willing to work very hard providing Mr Grant doggie hospice. I never thought Mr Grant would last as long as he has since he was very old when you first rescued him. The people in his life before you would never have even gotten him past that initial cancerous toe. You have put so much love and money into nurturing and nursing Mr Grant and he got to see what it was like to have brothers and a caring human family. What else is there? Now he is incapable of experiencing that reality any longer. Whatever and whenever you decide to help him further, it will be in his best interest. He already doesn’t know where he is, who he is, or who he’s with anymore. I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with this terrible situation. I hope you find a way to find some comfort in knowing you went above and beyond for Mr Grant.. and for all of us. 💕
I’m so sorry. Prayers for Mr Grant and your family. 🙏❤️
Poor Mr Grant this is so Heartbreaking.Kim you and your husband have given him the best life.One of my daughters Boxers did the same thing all day long.Hugs to all.
So sorry your going through this our prayers are with you & your family at this sad season of life with Mr. Grant.❤
Kim you have been a Godsend to Mr. Grant. You have been so wonderful in taking him in and giving him his best life. I'm so sorry, but know you have done the loving thing even when it breaks our hearts. My prayers are with you.
My little MS that was 17 had doggy dementia so I totally understand what you are going through, I am holding you folks and the schnauzer brothers close to my heart.
Hello Kim, you’ve done more than impossible for Mr Grant, you are such a superb Mom for your champion, he had a great life and you’ve done all that was possible for him to give him a nice quality of life…❤ I should admit that I agree with you that it is not an interesting way to live a dog life…. I am with you in your reflexion, I’ve lived the same decision, it is probably the worst moment of my life, but I am consoled that my late Toulouse is in a much better place. He is still in my thoughts and I know is better in the Dog’s paradise… our babies deserve these last rests.🌹🌹
My heart goes out to you and your husband as you two decide what's best for Mr. Grant. Saying prayers for you two and the boys.
Love you Mr Grant
That was hard to watch, but I’m grateful that you shared it. Doc, my oldest schnauzer is a senior now and I’m seeing sign of his age. Seeing Mr. Grant gives me something to watch for in the future. RIP Mr. Grant.
Praying for Mr Grant and both of you
We love you, Mr Grant.
My heart is breaking…. You are in such a hard place and my heart and my prayers go out to you as well as Mr. Grant. Big hugs 💙🙏🏻🐾. Thank you for sharing him…. I for one love him, even if it is just from videos.
I am so sorry that Mr. Grant is having dementia symptoms and everything that you are going through. He is so lucky to have a caring owner like you. I am sure that you will do whatever is the best for him.
Aww nothing but love for Mr. Grant❤
My 17 and a half year old had to be put down in August 2022. She used to do circles just like that but she suffered strokes and paralysis on half of her body the year before she turned 17. So we had to keep her in a play pen and let her do circles, ultimately put a diaper on her too. It’s so difficult to see a dog struggle 😢 But you gave an amazing life to him.
Poor Mr.Grant and family 💔 It is right of you to share this with us.as one day it will be our turn to go through it. You have given him the best years of his life,so much love. And so many cute and funny memories to look back to. Prayers for comfort for the family❤
Thanks for sharing Kim, you never hear much about canine dementia, sounds a lot like people dementia. Good ole Mr. Grant 💛💛💛💛💛💛🦴🦴🦴🦴
My heart breaks for you and your husband and for Mr. Grant. I love the little doggo down to his toenails. I agree that he should not suffer even one minute. He knows in his little doggie soul that he is loved beyond measure by his family and all of us who tune in to your videos to watch the escapades of these wonderful little schnauzer boys. May you have peace with the knowledge that Mr. Grant has lived his best life ever basking in your tender love in the safety and security of your home and backyard. He will live forever in your heart and I have no doubt that Mr.Grant will be chasing butterflies across a wide windy field of daisies in a world where pain has no part whatsoever. May love surround you and hold you close.
Praying for you and your family as you go through this. It's been almost a year since my Spanky passed, still miss him so much❤️
Bless your Heart Kim. I am so sad with you because I understand how excruciatingly painful this time can be. Mr. Grant has been so lucky to have found you later in his life as you are absolutely the Best Dog Mom in the world. Thoughts and prayers will continue for you ❤ Thank-you so much for sharing these tough times so all can understand what you are going through and be there with your family. You have many people in your corner, always!
Lots of love for you as you make a heart breaking decision. You’ve been a great family for sweet Mr. grant.
Oh Kim, my heart aches for you and your family. I think the perfect circles are a halo for the wonderful pet had become with you and your family!😇 You gave him the best years of his life!❤️ Soon it will be time to show your greatest love for him - I pray for you as you prepare for his last days. I have loved following his sweet little life!! 🐾💙 Thank you for sharing (and educating)!! Many hugs!😢
Prayers to you and your husband .❤️
I'm so sorry. My heart breaks for your family and Mr Grant. You gave him beautiful senior years when you rescued him. It's a hideous disease, human and dog. It's a tough decision but a kindness now/soon. Sending love and support.
You have bben so wonderful to Mr Grant and he has had a great and loving last few years of his life with you. Hugs. anyone who does not recognize this is horrible.
My Mutai had Dementia at 16 till 17 when we finally helped him over the rainbow bridge. It was so hard to see him declining and frightened all the time. TY for taking care of Mr Grant.
I saw this after knowing what became of Mr. Grant. You made the right decision as heart breaking as it is. I cried as soon as I saw the end of the video and seeing him circle around. Poor baby. You gave him probably the best few years of his life. You said he was a rescue so I don't know what it was like for him before you got him. He is now at peace over rainbow's bridge. He's gone from your sight but not gone from your heart. You'll see him again in your dreams. I know my beloved little Ben shows up in my dreams. Sympathy and prayers.
It is great that you share your videos of the good times and the bad. We have a senior mini Schnauzer who is 15 now and have noticed significant change in his behaviour and personality. I’m glad you share Mr Grants story I have watched your videos since you brought him home. We have learned so much from you. Our boy was the sweetest affectionate dog and to see the change is hard. All ❤ from us
Prayers for Mr. Grant and you.🙏🙏
I'm so sorry for Mr. Grant's decline and for all the emotional energy you have to go thru. You've been making all the right decisions, in my opinion, and I'm sure he feels all your love. God Bless you for all your loving Schnauzer care💞
You are a great doggy mom, do not let the negative comments get to you. It is a personal decision on when to let them go. We have been through it so many times, you will know when the time is right. Sending hugs love and prayers!
I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Grant!! Please keep us posted!!😢
I just went through that with my Luna.
So confused and age 14-1/2. January 28 was one of the hardest days of my life.
I know are hard it is.
Bless your heart
God bless Mr Grant.
They don’t live long enough for humans.
Bless you Kim. We can tell you love him very much. Losing my schnauzer broke my heart. But I can understand your situation and support your decision. You are right about quality of life. ❤
You have done so much for Mr. Grant in giving him the best possible life for him. Its always the hardest decision in any pet owners life to make that call. Whenever you make that call we’ll be there with you through it!! Be kind and gentle with yourself when you do. Sending love and hugs for everyone!!
Hugs to your family.
My schnauzer had doggie dimentia. Everything your saying is what happened with my dog. The clips you showed were very familiar. It was very hard to watch my little guy do that too. The vet mentioned to me when they stop doing five things they always enjoyed doing, which you mentioned too, it's probably getting closer. No matter what it's not an easy decision. You've made a loving home for Mr. Grant and all your pets. 🐶🐾😊🐈
Oh Kim this made me cry. Our girl Megan was just like Me Grant. Walking in circles, peeing in the house, being trapped in furniture. We thought it was because she was blind. Has Mr Grant gone blind? We had our baby put to sleep 2 years ago as we couldn’t bear to see her like this. You will know when the time is right. The vet should advise you as well. We had the vet come to the house as she hated the vets. Your video made me cry 😢. Sending the lots of hugs
Kim, my heart is breaking for you, your family and Mr Grant. My baby did circles at the end as well, after she had two seizures. I just couldn't let her go on like that, it was no quality of life. I KNOW how hard it is to make that decision. I'm sending you strength and love as you navigate through it.
I am just so very sorry kim,you have been and are an amazing mom to all of your furbabies,mr grant included,I am so happy that he found a loving home with you guys,and the truth is that people who make negative comments would never take on a dog with any type of issues and you did,you and your hubby have big hearts,You know mr grant the best,as you said the poor fella just circles all day,he has lost the ability to function properly and you will know when its time,Bless him and you all,and you know you don't owe anyone an explanation,if they want to know about a certain health condition they can look it up,my heart breaks for you all,I am sorry,I have so enjoyed watching Mr Grants journey with you guys,I used to love watching him do his hoppity hop happy trot💖💖💖
It is very sad. We lost our last. Mini Schnauzer this past October. Copper's last year or two he he was diagnosed with doggie dementia/doggie alzheimers. It was heartbreaking to watch. Prayers for you guys.

We share the inevitable experiences, stress, and pain. In a sense your dogs are now service dogs. Your channel provides similar services to your followers. Thank you.
Kim, I'm going to add another comment and it is a hard decision...when the vet called and told me I had to think of her quality of life...I couldn't stop crying I remember that day like it was yesterday. She was everything to Mr. I miss her so much but she had kidney disease, she wasn't eating, drinking slept alot. I Never felt more helpless..if I could've given her one of my kidneys I would've. She was my socialization, she's all I had. So I know your decision will be hard and heartbreaking...Mr Grant has had a good life with you...your a great Schnauzer mom...don't ever forget that and we are all here for you. Is there any medication that would help him with the Dementia? I'm so glad you shared this with us because I didn't even know dogs got Dementia...I sending you and Mr Grant a hug..🙏
Miss my lil Todo, he was a white schnauzer. Its still hard for me I miss him. I had no idea he was going through so much pain from what the Vet told me. You love your dogs you will do what is best! Good luck hun.
It breaks my heart when it comes to senior furbabies. 💔 Oh Kim, I am so sorry. This month is six years ago I had to make that decision with my Schatze-girl. 😢 So, I truly, truly do understand. Sending lots of love to you and your entire family. God bless you all. ❤
Hello there Kim. I'm so sorry for what Mr. Grant is going through. I know that it is very hard on you and your husband seeing Mr. Grant like this. My thoughts and prayers 🙏 are with you always. I wish i was there to give you my shoulder to cry on. Please continue to keep us updated on Mr. Grant. We all are here for you and your family.
My mother had dememtia and it was difficult to see her change. I had a mini dachshund that had it along with other health issues. Got her in 2006 and had to put her to sleep when she was 16. It was so difficult to do. I cried and cried. I loved her so much. My son-inlaw kept telling me I needed to take her in to put her to sleep but I just kept putting it off. I just didn't want to let go of her. When she stopped eating I knew I had no choice. It has been several years and I still miss her. I have 2 mini schnauzers now. I love them but they don't have the personality that she had. They have their own personalities and I love them. It is so hard no matter how our sweet companions leave us. I love Mr. Grant. I feel so sorry that he and you are having to go through this heartbreaking part of life.
My heart goes out to you and Mr. Grant. Prayers for him from sister mini Ava and brother mini Ace.
Kim, you have been a blessing to Mr. Grant! As you have been to all of the guys! My wife and I have watched you care for the guys hundreds of times. Unfortunately we all have a termination date and our best friends Do as well. We too have lost two great danes over the years and it is hard. In the end when life is nothing more than maintenance of vital signs it is time to rest. May Mr. Grant leave behind fond memories and loving moments.
Thank you for this post on Mr Grant & his med.issues.
I have a 12 yr old mini schnauzer (rescued from a ohio breeder nearly 4 1/2 yrs ago) from the time we adopted
Bella she would not walk out the door for potty time but would walk inside. Never enjoyed being outside nor would Bella ever go for a walk.
In the past year we now carry
Bella outside & back inside.
She spends all her time on sofa sleeping, doesn't spend time in her crate, would never play will dog toys or ball. Will not jump up nor down on sofa 13:01 (we think she has dimished eye sight). Bella does not seek out her water bowl, we know when she stands up Bella wants water. I always place some water in food bowl ever since our Maggie had bladder stones. We only use
Distilled water for our furgal's.
Bella seems to get terribly
Anxious in mornings when it is time to go out or when it is meal time. We've been thinking our gal is going thru doggie dementia this past year. Bella is in good health otherwise, bloodwork is always perfect.
I have 2 mini schnauzers & they take up alot of time during the day. Sending You, family & Mr. Grant well wishes.
Kim, I had to have Major put down in July '23, it was sad... had was in the same state as grant.... he was blind, deaf and had the dementia.... is was sad.... I now have a large breed dog, sheep dog, great dane..... 6 month old.... his name is Bear..... and he lives up to it... you are in my prayers as you and your husband make the decisions you have to make. HUGS! we love you and our prayers are with you!
I completely understand i went through this with one of my older schnauzer years back. He started to have seizures. Mixed with dementia.
Much love to you.
We've also been through this. Only you will know what to do and when. Stay strong. Prayers are with you all.
