My wife and son, however, were totally devastated.  This dog was truly like a family member to them.  Sammie would lay in the floor and let my son use her as a pillow while he watched TV.  My wife actually had this dog somewhat speaking English.  Sammie would repeat certain words after my wife. I tried to brush it off at first, but Sammie became clearer and clearer with her "speech" until I could no longer deny it.  We live out in the country in Alabama, so I was able to bury Sammie on our property. My wife is from northern NY state and  loves Maple trees. I built a small garden area and planted an October Glory in the middle of it beside Sammie. I really hope you are able to help Artie enjoy a few more years.

Be careful with the possibility of a yeast infection - those are really hard to get rid of in dogs. I’m sorry to hear about Artie’s problems.

Thanks for the advice, Jenn.  If the blood work doesn't give us an answer I'll ask about doing x-rays. Thanks Jan.
