Glenys,
I will not regret for one minute taking him home with me, he is well worth the long journey to get him, thank you for allowing us to have him,
I specifically wanted an old dog or one that needed extra special love and care, one that John and I could give a home to in his twilight years.
I won't go into too many details about my beloved Mick, because I get too upset, but suffice it to say, that about a year or so before we lost him, he couldn't really get around too much, nor that quickly, so we bought him some incontinence bed blankets that old people have and put those on top of his quilt, so that if he did piddle, it soaked into this thick sheeting and wouldn't leave him wet, if it happened during the night and we didn't know, they were expensive, but well worth it.
If he needed to go to the loo and he knew that he wouldn't be able to get up and make it in time, he would tap his tail on the floor to tell us and we'd just quickly get a bag and that was it, no mess, he truly was a dog sent to me from Heaven.
That's why I said that no problem was insurmountable.
Aileen, I'm sorry, I forgot to use my real name, it's Jill, I'm so used to being called "Radar" (lol) !
Radar Ears is a nickname I was given years ago because I can have a conversation with someone and still listen to whatever is going on around me and repeat it all word for word!
It's only general chit-chat though, I would never dream of repeating anything I heard that was private!
