Amidst our renovation progress, we're facing a personal challenge at home. Our 16-year-old dog is nearing the end of his life, and it's a tough time for us. He's lost the function of his back legs intermittently, has to wear a diaper and is in considerable pain. We're preparing ourselves for the possibility that we may need to make a very hard decision in the next few days if he doesn't pass peacefully on his own.
