I do have a line in the sand with her. It is pain and suffering that I can't fix. She's almost 15, blind, almost deaf, and has the lung condition. I was very close to that line last week, as she was in a lot of pain. I am very glad she's done so well with this, and as long as she's still enjoying life we will fight to keep her going as long as we can. We've had her since she was nine weeks old, and she has been a faithful and loyal little companion so we owe her that. But we also owe her not to let her suffer either. It is very hard to know when to draw the line. We have two senior dogs, both 14 and both with health problems, so I think about it a lot and hope I have the courage to keep their best interest in the forefront when making decisions.
