My little old man was sleeping well on the sofa with me, so I decided to sneak off to bed. Mistake - he's agitated and vocalising now and I'm back in the lounge with him, trying unsuccessfully to rock him back to sleep 😔. #CanineCognitiveDysfunction #DoggieDementia is a really challenging disease
It's bad enough that my darling little old man wants to huff and bark instead of sleeping, but the Olympics channel is showing curling 😟... It might be fascinating when you understand it, but I will need another Olympics before I get there.

I swear the sedatives are having the opposite effect tonight. It's been two hours of almost non-stop barking and huffing. I'm so tired I feel like crying. #CanineCognitiveDysfunction #DoggieDementia

For a change the sedative appears to be working tonight - can't stop checking he's still breathing and fearing I've accidentally overdosed him #CanineCognitiveDysfunction #DoggieDementia
Oh, I so miss the days when my biggest worry was him sitting where I would have preferred he didn't...
Theme for tonight: let sleeping dogs lie - literally. #CanineCognitiveDysfunction #DoggieDementia
Second night of trialling a sedative which the vet thought would help my little old man sleep. He's barking less, but no sleeping last night and it looks like tonight is going to be the same... 😢

It looks like my little old man has #CanineCognitiveDysfunction (CCD) aka doggie dementia. Last night was the worst yet; I so hope he can sleep okay tonight #aonzpets
My heart dog had CCD and it was... I think one of the top 5 most devastating events in my life. I watched as my heart dog, who was so intelligent he knew exactly what I said with a finger snap and a wrist flick just as easily as when I spoke to him, forget who I was.
