In terms of when the time is right...I am so sorry.<br /><br />In terms of when the time is right, for me it comes down to the fact that dogs don't dread or fear death. They cannot anticipate recovery either, or remember what it was like to feel good. They live very much in the moment. So if I cannot keep a dog happy, comfortable, free from pain, and (importantly) free from confusion and fear, for the majority of its hours, I don't hold on. It's hard for ME to let them go; it's not hard for them to go. <br /><br />I think the slow declines are the worst. You can start feeling like if today isn't much worse than yesterday, the dog is still OK. I try to step back and look at the dog compared to last month, or last year, or at her prime, and whether she's still able to be herself in the body she has today. <br /><br />Again, I am so, so sorry. There is absolutely nothing worse than losing a good dog.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178480102282961954noreply@blogger.com
