It was terrible, but we discussed it... at what point would we put her down? If she couldn't walk? Or if she couldn't pee by herself? Or if she just peed all the time?
Then Layla got through surgery, and we visited her the next day, and she was so tired and so out of it, and she looked so sad with a little IV in her leg, and she tried to give us a few kisses on our faces with her dry little tongue, and we both knew then that we couldn't give up hope. We can't put her down.
A lot of people would have put her down without even a thought of surgery, or even life as a paralyzed dog without surgery. She may take a couple more hours out of my day, but isn't she worth it?

Your thread really touched my heart Lindsey. Keep your strength up girl ,Layla is counting on it and to answer your question , of course shes worth it. They all are. Keep us posted. xx
