Re: Lady
[QUOTE=sam&meg;117399]1994-2007
Lady was 13 when we had to make the last trip to vets. Lady had cancer which spread very quickly. We thought long & hard about putting her to sleep however she made the choice for us has she stopped eating & drinking.
She is laid to rest under the tree she liked to lay under while watching us in the garden. I still look for when i take my other dogs out.
Although I have read your post previously and can emphasise with you. There are times when animals want to fight and there is the point where the time is right. Problem is that its never the right time for us.
In the past I have made the wrong decision when our dog refused to eat and drink I kept him hydrated every 15 minutes right round the clock. I thought I was doing the right thing at the time.
I knew the time was right when he insisted on going outside to have a wee but was too weak to go unaided, he insisted on raising his leg and I had to support him. He came back into the Kitchen laid down I laid with him and his paw came over my shoulder, I took that as a goodbye and took him to the vets for the last time.
Lots of hugs
Sue
