@hotfooted Everything sounds so difficult for you and your family. I haven’t got much helpful advice that others haven’t already expressed. But, I can maybe help with the dog. We just adopted a dog that sounds very much like your son’s dog. He’s very small, toothless, blind and has a terrible skin infection. He was in a hoarding situation and then was a stray on the streets. How could I not adopt him?! We bought dog diapers and have been teaching him to go outside on a regular basis. After 1 month, he’s a different dog! Find a rescue group near you—they will help. That will set everyone’s mind at ease, especially your son’s.

Becky, we have called everywhere about Dan's little dog and they all say that because he pees indoors, hasn't had his shots, or been neutered that he's unadoptable and they will not take him in.. He is a wonderful little dog other than those 3 things.. so I still don't know what will happen to him.. it's heartbreaking...
My son is on hospice now and with morphine and being out of pain at last he is resting well, even has his apetite back altho he cannot handle a fork or spoon. He did hold his hamburger and fed himself, after I cut it in two pieces.. He said this is the first time in such a long time that he feels good.. Too bad that it's so near the end of his life.. The hospice nurse told us, including my son, that by stopping dialysis he wouldn't live more than 2 or 3 weeks now.. It hurts so much to be losing him...
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! My husband just called from the nursing home to tell me that the young man we talked to this morning about doing work on son's home ... called and said he has found PJ a home, he thinks! That his neighbors dog just died and they want to meet PJ... I thank our God for the wonderful way he works for good in our lives! AMAZING GRACE!!!!
