I see you baby, shakin that thang!

I was contemplating the other day how does one decide when to put your dog to sleep. I decided that when Willie stopped wagging his tail, or shakin' his thang, that we would make the decision. Brandon disagreed by saying "what if he stops wagging his tail just for one day and we put him down?" It was a good question and one that I've thought about a lot! Everyday I make a conscious effort to make Willie wag his tail and everyday that he keeps shakin' his thang, I feel happy. It is so nice to come home to a dog wagging his tail, nothing beats unconditional love! I thought that was a good measure because I assume that wagging his tail is equal to a smile on his face or a least feeling good. The other morning I think he was having a bad day because he was lying on the bed and keeping an eye on me but not picking up his head, it was quite sad. But when I came home that evening he was wagging his tail, happy to see me. I'm not sure how one decides these things, and I'm just glad I'm not to that point yet!
