nanz,
dun put your dog to sleep liao, so poor thing, just becos she old and senile liao you put her to sleep??? if next time we old and senile liao, our kids put us to sleep, how?
i think your dog also very poor thing, guess she just cannot control herself, i think she is miserable too. Dogs life evolve about their owners, making their owners happy too and i guess she felt miserable making you angry lor, my dog sometimes pee outside the newspaper too, just outside it, then i realised his body is quite long and for him to walk all the way in to pee in the centre of the newspaper, he cannot go stunt after that, so i think we misunderstood him liao. I used to have this big shephard, he is so fantastic, i did not know he got problem and still asked him to climb here and climb there, as much pain as he is in, he tried to satisfy me and do all the things i asked him too and the next min I know, he utter a strange noise and collapsed and die, I regretted I scolded him for taking such a long time to complete the trick I asked him to, I did not know that he was already in great pain. Dogs are that loyal to us till the day they die.
my dog getting old too and i felt bad alot of times that i neglected him. I am sure your dog dun mean it when she anyhow pee, why dun you change your mindset when you clean your dog poo, tell yourself that she is pitiful and instead of scolding your dog, tell your dog, it is okay, you know she just cannot control it, no need to feel bad about it. In this way, I think you will not feel so angry too.
