You must think about it now, before it is absolutley necessary.
the one comment I have on the subjest is: We are lucky enough to be able to spare our beloved pets the pain and possibly undignified results of the dieing process. Many people I have known have choosen to give this gift to their pets when it was apparent that any other road may prolong life, but not in any pleasant manner.
of course, it could be that you have nothing to worry about it the near future, and we can all pray for that. Don't focus on the negative, just be prepared and have a game plan--just in case.
I have really thought about it already - I think I was just kind of saying aloud to myself "ok, well you will face that decision tomorrow once you know what's wrong." I think I was also just trying not to focus on the negative, as you say. Although I know really, I have to take one step at a time and the next step is finding out what exactly is wrong.
Once I know what's wrong and how she is actually feeling, I would know what to do - well, ok, if it's not a clearcut diagnosis it might be difficult to decide. But I am of the same opinion as you about it. If something is wrong with her that means she is actually in pain or uncomfortable or just going to get worse or anything like that, I will do what is right for her. It's only because it's possible it may turn out to be something controllable that I'm not sure yet. I know really what I would decide to do if it was the right thing for her.
Such a Brave and Smart Woman you are!! How's it going today? (I may not delve into my friend's pages tonight to find out for myself--new YA-YA book to read and that's all I really feel like doing...)
I'm pretty speechless about this because my dog is one of the best things in my life. I can't even begin to imagine your pain. Small solace, but gentle hugs to you.
*hug* I'm so sorry. This must be so difficult for you. If you need anything you still have some *real* caring friends who are more than willing to be here for you when and if you need anything. I know you and I don't have phone numbers, but if you need anything just e-mail me, or I don't know if you have an AIM or messenger, I'm Aeval Bride if you do.
