A year ago I was going thru what you are now with an 18 yr old sheltie. He was blind, deaf and had become incontinent for the last 2 years of his life. He was sleeping more then he was active and I noticed his health starting to worsen. I made an appointment to have him put down in like 3 weeks so I could make sure I was doing the right thing. Well just before the 3 weeks were drawing closer he stopped eating completely, it was his way of telling me it was time. Sometimes the best thing you can do is see what quality of life he has and if its best for him to go to doggie heaven then give him the biggest hug you can and tell him its okay to rest in heaven where you dont hurt anymore. |
