THINK POSITIVE!

Is your animal suffering from some arthritis, or any type of illness or other physical condition? They would love for you to focus on what's good and healthy with them. Tell them how much you love them and how much you enjoy their company. They do not want you to focus on what's 'wrong' with them, and they definitely don't want you to feel sorry for them. Look at dogs who have three legs. They don't care, they're running around just like any other dog. They are happy! They want to be treated like everyone else!
