• Being a pet parent to a 15-year-old dog is absolutely lawless. I used to have rules in my house. I was a good dog parent. Nope. Now, he runs everything. He is in charge.

   

  He wants to go on a walk at two o'clock in the morning, his seventh walk of the day? Absolutely no problem. He doesn't wanna go to the bathroom on that walk even though I really, really beg it of him? Doesn't matter, it's his choice. He wants then p00 when we get back into the house, the minute we get back in the house? I say, ‘thank you so much for letting me know your bowels are working. I love that for you.’ He wants the Turkey off my sandwich? I'm having a lettuce sandwich. He wants to only eat his medication wrapped in Colby Jack Cheese? Guess who's buying stock in Colby Jack Cheese!

   

  Who's taking him to the doctor and spending $500 to figure out that he's just old, nothing's wrong with him. He's just old and I am just worrying all the time cause he's old. That's me, I'm that idiot. No problem! He can't settle at night unless I lay down on the ground and lay down next to him and then he falls asleep if I'm rubbing his ears exactly the right way. So, guess who has back pain now, me! 

   

  No problem. It's for him. I'm fine with it
