Of course her age is getting the best of her. She can't see that great, can't hear and is getting on the senile side. I have made appts. on different occasions to get her put to sleep but I just can't do it. I told the vet. Dr. that I keep praying she will just go to sleep one night and that will be easier. Now, I just don't know that will happen. Since we have recently gotten Jake, our 3 month old Yorkie) she is really starting to go downhill even more. I can't let him near her. He attacks her and she doesn't have a chance. I just don't know how to do this!!! Her quality of life is gone but it is like I want her to stay around as long as possible...I rescued her after I got married. When I left my Dad's house, she couldn't deal with me leaving. She completely lost the hair on her head due to nerves. I gave her a sense of life when I brought her to live with us. I know I need to make a decision but I can't bear with the memories. I feel like I have my Mother's angel here and I don't want to let her go. PLEASE HELP ME HERE!!!! |
I always believed that when the time is right you will be the first to know trusting you love this dog very much ..youll do the right thing for you both .May you have peace and love in knowing ..your love will never be far from you.
