[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 177514, member: 3419"] Aww. It is so hard. I know the feeling. Problem is, I chickened out with-two of our dogs and husband will still not forgive me. One was a collie who was blind, deaf and had rear leg issues. She broke more lamps and furniture than I can recall. She'd get up in the middle of the night and wander, probably looking for a place to go potty, and we'd hear crashes and then find her, in a pile of doo-doo, underneath a tipped over table. Poor thing. It finally got past the point of no return and we did the inevitable She was happy to the end and we were using her temperament as a guide to whether we should let her go. The other was my male borzoi, who was on his third bout of pneumonia. I had made an appointment and then cancelled it, because he rallied. I have since learned that both animals and humans rally at the end, just a few hrs b4 they die. It's like the body's last burst of energy. He died on the floor of the back hall while we ate dinner. husband was ticked because he said I let him suffer too much. (Great, pile on the guilt. HE could have made the appointment.) At any rate, that is all to say I know [I]exactly[/I] how you and your husband feel. You'll know when the time is right and you will do it with love. [/QUOTE]
