End-of-Life Pet Choices

[grey]

I'm very sorry Grey. Something similar happened with my border collie. She was only 9 and a half or so.

No idea about the other dogs being present. But it does sound best if she can be at home. Poor baby!

She does sleep most of the time. In "her" chair, I've given up trying to reclaim it in recent months, it will have to be aired out and reupholstered. So I thought, here at home, in her chair.
Like zoom-zooms other kitties, the other 2 dogs pretty much ignore her. I've gotten used to Wookie (she's a shepherd mix) not greeting me at the door, just the other two do. It takes too much effort, I guess.
From here, I guess, it's deciding when it's time. She spent the wee hours of Monday morning just throwing up and wanting me to hold/pet her, but she has been fine since. Hard to decide. I suppose you just know when it's time?

It can be so hard...Lola would have good days...and then bad ones. And we'd think it was time. Then she'd suddenly perk back up. Ultimately the bladder issues were just not really something we could deal with. What made her bladder issues better made her ill and was miserable to get into her, so it wasn't worth the effort for an old cat who was so inactive. It still makes me sad, though, since mentally she was still very much her old self.
