Re: dog is getting old, so very old
We knew her health was declining for a while. She was still happy and would want loving every day and want to play at least once a week.
Then one night she was laying under the table and whining loudly and sad barking. I wasn't home, but the kids said it was loud enough to make it hard to sleep.
The next morning, she couldn't stand up. We took her to the vet. They said they could provide meds to take away the pain, but her body was so broken down that she wouldn't last more than a few days. We decided we would rather she die lucid, surrounded by the people she loves than drugged up. The kids came with us and we all pet her and loved on her and cried for her until she was gone.
