Damn. Really sorry to hear that. The one and only bad thing about dogs is that they don't outlive us.

Really sorry to hear. It’s a terrible time to get though. A lot of people without pets don’t realize how much it affects you when this time arrives.

Any pet owners here have advice for dealing with an old dog who is starting to have trouble getting traction on hardwood floors? Bella is starting to slip and slide a bit. Not bad...Yet. She doesn't fall, but I've see her back leg shoot out from under her on occasion. I've heard of people putting down a runway of yoga mats. We have hardwoods throughout so I'd need about 100 of them and it would look so cluttered and ugly. I've seen boots but we tried those years ago for the salt covered slushy trails in new England. She freaked out when we put them on her. Like epic failure. At 15 I dont think this old dog is going to up to learning that new trick if she refused as a puppy.

Cheap throwaway runners for a portion of the space. Shouldn’t need to cover every surface, just the main areas she roams.

Agree on skipping the boots.

I was visiting some friends a few weeks ago, and they have a small elderly dog that it also blind. It walks around their house, and goes in circles around a room until it finds a way out. Her rear paws were sliding out from under here on their non-carpeted floors. They have carpet runners in their walkways, which helps her to get around and also navigate by the carpet feel.....

Thank Guys! Bella's still got her eyesight though that's going too. Cataracts in both eyes. I'm warming up to the carpet runner idea as I do think it will help her not only with traction but in navigating and not getting lost or turned around in big open spaces like the living room.
