My Sister's little Yorkie Charley was 17 year's old as he died.

Wow!!! Thank you so much everyone for all the kind words and support during this difficult time. It has helped more than you know. I really needed to hear some positivity. I know in my heart she's strong and healthy and not ready to go because of a hip dislocation and then with the vets confirming she had no other problems and her heart, lungs and all organs functioning normal and healthy why would I not go ahead with the surgery. But then I had such an overwelming negative response from people that by the way have never met her that I started to 2nd guess my desicion. My husband and the people close to her have been supportive and agree this isnt her time. I think Im just emotionally depleted and started to break down. So again THANK YOU EVERYONE. I dropped her off this morning for surgery and I know she'll do great. I cant wait to get her back home and let her live the rest of her life loved and spoiled.

Maggie did well through her surgery, she was only under anesthsia for 20 min. I think she will have a quick recovery. Thanks again for everyone who helped me through this.
