My partners beloved old mutt is 15-16 (he was a rescue so not sure) and although his physical health isn't terrible he really has lost his marbles
, He runs out into the road barking at nothing, is obsessed with being in one particular spot which is the most in the way he can possibly be. He is becoming quite aggressive since we had our baby son. Last night every time one of us stirred in bed he leapt up and ran up and down frantically and woke the baby. We have always said that while his tail is still wagging we wouldn't put him down. He is a bit arthritic but still continent and steady on his feet. I feel like we would be putting him down because he is inconvenient but on the other hand his aggression is worrying me as it has been aimed at a couple of children recently. He hasn't bit a child...yet. wwyd?
