I have had a dog in my life st all times since the age of 5. My first dog died at the age of 18 and had kidney stones. My second baby was a girl and she was in our lives for 4 years until one day her bones started deteriorating but we held on and helped her in every way possible from carrying her outside to use the restroom and actually holding her up to use the restroom. My baby now is Rammer and he is 3 years old. He has epilepsy and we give him two types of medicine including CBD oil also to help tame his seizures every day. Over all I love dogs!! Cats also, I have had one furry white one but she was taken by my mother-in-law to keep company.
