I'm really upset. 
I know he's been sick for a long time, but it seems now as if there's no "point of return" and we've hit the final act. Tomorrow my mom's boyfriend is going to call the vet and ask them what they think we should do concerning him.
Spencer's a little over 10 years old, and for the past three years has had kidney problems, among other things. We first noticed it when he began "spotting" urine on the couch and other places he lies around the house, so we took him in and they gave him special food to help the kidneys function better. It really worked well, but then it all seemed to go downhill all at once. Over the last year or so he developed glaucoma in one eye, and lost quite a bit of weight and has trouble now using his hind legs (i.e.- getting up the stairs after going outside, jumping on my bed - he always lies next to me in the morning after sleeping in my mom's room all night). Since Christmas, though, it just seems to be getting worse. He's been moving really slow, and hardly ever eats his food anymore (lately we've been feeding him "regular" dog food, but sometimes he won't even touch that
). It's heartbreaking to watch this once lively, goofy, adorable dog struggle to even get up on my bed and to go to the bathroom.
I know, I hardly ever talk about him here cause I'm always going on about my cat (Mia), but I love this dog so much. It had been almost 6 years since my parents had sold my last dog when we got him, and I was thrilled to have an animal around again. My mom is the one who's really attached to him, kind of like me with Mia, so this is devastating to her (both of us, actually, I haven't stopped crying since she told me about calling the vet).
If he's in any pain, we'll do the right thing, but it'll be so hard letting go.
