when i got in the house and let her out she jumped from almost the top of the deck to the back yard, missing about 5 stairs. way bad for her to do. well she ran around a bit and then ran back and stumbled up the stairs. the next day she was incredibly sick, throwing up and wouldn't eat or drink anything. she couldn't get comfortable in any position, laying, sitting, standing and was having trouble keeping her balance. walking was just a staggering mess. so i made the appointment for tuesday and the vet agreed, there just wasn't any getting better. they have a nice room there for this and it was really quite peaceful.
when it is time for me i'm probably going to wish i was a dog, we really do better by them at this time than we do by our own, imho.
there are some things that make letting go easier, such as senior pet bladder and bowel control.
my sense of humor is kind of strange sometimes. well, probably most of the time. she was a good dog.
