Been to the vet, she says he's very stiff in his back legs but not sure why. He's having some trouble getting up steps and doesn't want to be picked up but can still jump off things and leap onto the sofa.... it's very odd! Painkillers and back to the vet next week :(

Sorry to hear that Christina. Although Buster still looking pretty good, he is on 2 different pain killers and steroids. I am beginning to think I’m keeping him around for my benefit. My vet (who is the best ever imo) (I don’t know any other vet that would reply to my emails at 9 in the evening ) says he has a strong heart but along with arthritis everything else is slowly shutting down.
He loves standing in the water. I think it soothes his arthritis. I’ve always had dogs, but I’m having difficulty thinking of life without Buster.

My heart breaks for you, it really does. I don't know how you're going to make that decision. Would be so nice for him just to slip away in his sleep, that's what we hope for ourselves I think.
