What did it taste like? Jk that joke is overplayed.
That's what I figured, too.

Just thinking about this today... So how'd things go with your sheppard? What'd the vet say?I have a 13-14 year old shepherd mix, and lately the thing has just been crapping all over the place. In the three years since we've adopted him he hasn't had a single accident inside. We came home last Saturday, shit on the floor. Came home from work tonight, shit on the floor. We're pretty active with him - we walk him 4-5 days a week, and I have a fairly big back yard for him to run around in, so he gets exercise. We haven't changed anything food related, and in fact, this is really the only thing we've seen as far as a change in him.
Is this just a sign of old age in him and we're near the end? Or could this be something that can be fixed? We're taking him to the vet tomorrow or Wednesday to hopefully get some answers there, but I figure it never hurts to ask some of you who've had dogs.

Good to hear! No more soiling the floor?Yeah, my bad for not updating this....
Dog is better. Vet put him on some medication, and he's eating better than he was before. We're getting him a bit more active as well, sometimes doing the morning and night walks.

Sorry to hear that, it is always tough to lose a fur baby, but when it is time it is time.We put him down this morning.
Yeah, the wife saw him pissing blood the other day, and it was (amazingly) pretty much exactly what @Aesopian posted in this thread. Beyond that he was having issues with his hind legs, and that moved to one of his front legs and he was just a mess today. We probably should have done it on Saturday.Sorry to hear that, it is always tough to lose a fur baby, but when it is time it is time.
Sorry GusWe put him down this morning.
Thanks. While it certainly isn't the same as Rango's best friend, I appreciate your words.Sorry, that is a terribly tough thing to do...even when it is the right thing to do.
Seriously.Thanks. While it certainly isn't the same as Rango's best friend, I appreciate your words.

I always say when the tail stops wagging and the smiles go away it's time... It sucks worse than just about anything.We always wait too long hoping for the best, and we always regret it. It sucks, hang in there.
