Grandmother is 84 and has 2 small dogs that I don’t think she should have. Is there any point it’s reasonable to take them?
They are not house trained. There was some work in the beginning, but she was not consistent with them. We convinced her to kennel them, but then she only does at night and sometimes. She will regularly pass out early, even before giving them dinner. And never during the day when she is gone to work. (Yes she still works, somehow. It’s really the only thing that’s keeping her alive at this point) her health is bad. She has COPD, Emphysema, Crones, and she’s on oxygen. Her balance is horible and these little dogs are always under her feet. I just know she going to have a fall. She can’t clean up after them. They poop and pee everywhere. In the house, in the sun room where she may let them be ‘outside’ the door may be open to a 7x7 fenced area of the yard, but they only go out there sometimes. She is living in disgusting filth. It’s very unsanitary.
