My little girl is gone now 18 months. I went through the same thing with dementia, getting confused as to where she was, she would get stuck in corners and not be able to get out, this all happened at age 15, she started loosing sight and hearing, she had cushings disease at age 10 but was on meds and was doing good. If I went out she would cry and howling the entire time I was gone, this I was told by my neighbors, she was then 17 y/o sweet thing was scared and afraid to be left alone. She had a strong heart, ate good, was in no pain, it was painful to have her from a 8 week old baby to a 17 y/o baby, and see her declining, but my love fot her grew stronger each day. One day she was fine, the next day she wasn't, she spent 7 days in the hospital, she never came home, her organs were shutting down, I had to put her down, that was the most over whelming thing I have had to do. Yes, I had other yorkies that I had to put down, but this girl was with me the longest. I wouldn't change a thing, If you can keep your baby pain free, and she still has quality of life, love her each and every day, when it's her time to leave you, you will know. I miss my girl and think of her every single day, I was blessed to have her for 17 years.
