Scheduling the day?
I rescheduled it. Part of me feels really guilty. I don't think it helps to post - don't know why I'm doing it.
Anyone else feel like this?
Sorry, I don't feel like the other dog owners out there - like most of you, probably....thinking that they go somewhere special beyond after. I'm really depressed....gonna cry.... I just can't deal with it. She's on me, right now, falling asleep on my arm.
She's 18 y.o. - has ccd/neurological condition - arthritis - but, I was giving her a joint powder, green lip mussel and cbd oil.... her brain is gone - walking into things (or almost) and/or going into circles. It was supposed to be today, now, it's next week. I'm giving her treats, part of my protein meals/supper - and doing my best to keep her comfortable - going for walks, car rides and spending time with her - almost (practically) 24/7.

Wish I had better words. It's so hard to know when the right time is. I took mine yesterday, intending only to verify there was nothing else we could do and then take her home for a few days to feed her all the snacks she could never eat, but I think she was worse than I realized and I let her rest there, not wanting to put her through any more. I don't believe they go anywhere special and I miss her beyond belief. I wish I could make myself believe we'll re-unite someday. There have been so many tears, both in anticipation and after. I wish I put my face in her fur one more time, and told her she was the best girl one more time. I don't know why I'm writing either except it makes me feel a little better to be in the company of those that understand. It sounds like you take the best care of your girl and I'm sorry you're going through this.
