Dog's last request?

Asked by RocketGuy (15239points) March 5th, 2013

My 14 yr old dog was just diagnosed with Degenerative Myelopathy. He will progress towards paralysis in a few months. What would be a good ending experience for him?

A trip to the forest sounds like a good back to nature kind of thing, but it would be a 1 hr drive each way and he can only walk for half an hour these days. Hardly worth 2 hr of sitting in a car.

A good picnic in the backyard with the family sounds good too, since he would be surrounded by the “pack”.

How about a last meal of foods that he always liked (chicken in Thai green curry) or would have liked but were bad for him (like chocolate)?
