  1. Thanks for all the responses! she has a vet appointment every 6 months, she has cataracts and no longer respondes to sound. She is always happy to see me she’s just nervous.
  2. Hi! I’ve been having some trust problems with my 14 year old mutt, Ellie. After my grandfather passed away in 2010 we acquired her, though at the time I was only 5. She got switched around with a lot of others family members. As we tried to find someone to give her too. I always really loved her, but I was really young and I had no say, nor did I understand. when I was 7 we decided to keep her. My dad became her owner. I adored her but she always hated playing. She was always very distant. She was an out door dog who was walked 4 times a week and fed a diet of cheap canned food. when I was 10 I got very interested in pet care and did some reasearch and started changing her care. My father has never liked dogs but he still likes her he just won’t show affection to her. now she sleeps in the house, is fed a home made diet of meat and vegetables and is truly loved. she is still very distant and while she does enjoy being patted she is very nervous and won’t fully relax. Also when I come up to her with my hand out to pat her she ducks. My father and my grandfather never hit her, but my grand dad didn’t get her from the shelter till she was two. i was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to make her more comfortable. Is this nervous ness just from her having so many owners? Or is this that she just a confused old blind dog? Sorry this this is so long I just thought the info was important i would just like to say I am planning on keeping her till she dies and give her the best care I just want to make her comfortable love her so much she is my best friend thanks!!
