my dog, Sissy (she came prenamed) is old...12 years old now...and finally starting to really show her age. As far as I can tell, she's probably a lab/shepherd mix and therefor, probably has hip dysplasia. She's starting to have a hard time getting up and around, and is clearly losing her fucking mind. thtats's a bummer.
I've never had a geriatric dog before. Sissy was always rather "invincible", but not so much anymore. I think I need to get some rugs in my house, beuase the hardwood floors give her a hard time and stuff.
I get sad when I think that she's basically on the downhill slide now. In only 2 years, she's gone from total frisbee dog to almost needing one of those carts like on Yellowdog's avatar.

There are now excellent medications for dogs that can greatly reduce pain in their hips. Talk to a vet. It can improve their quality of life exponentially.

Jesus H. Christ...I wouldn't say she's "suffering" just yet. Would you put your grand mama to sleep because she's slowing down in her old age?

good answer. but an old dog, unlike an old person, still has some use. I'd still have no fear walking through a negro-infested alley with Sissy.
