Thank you, red98vett, YorkieRose, and I Love lucy. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

As far as her being in pain, that's a relative question. We still have not filled the valium prescription on the fridge for her, but we have begun to give her almost daily doses of childrens benadryl to take the "edge" off of her uncomfortableness. It used to be that we needed to do this when the atmospheric pressure got to high/low in a sudden burst, but it seems almost a daily thing now to allow her to "rest" more comfortably--- not wonder around the room in search of a resting spot (when her bed/crate is in the same room.... and where she has always gone when she hasn't felt well).

She still eats (though not as much) and is still able to do all things necessary outside.

But how do you say it's time for an animal who has a history of never giving up?
