Long time no blog

Well, I haven't written anything for 2 years. When Tira passed away, I just shut down in many ways. Now it is 2 years later and I am going through similar struggles with Amarok. This being the third time I have cared for an aged husky with a weak back-end (this time due to spinal problems and maybe some degenerative myelopathy), I am getting a little more used to it. However, the shock of seeing how quickly a husky looses their passion for life when they can't move around never lessens. Amarok has aged dramatically in the past 2 seasons, he can still get about, but struggles with standing, and stairs are a nightmare. Walks are to the end of the block and back, and very slow. I know that all I can do for him is keep him comfortable, as mobile as possible and, hopefully, happy. He's a lovely boy who wants to take care of me, not the other way around, and I know he finds being an old man very frustrating.
