[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 447669, member: 1233"] The only thing you can do is be honest and tell her that you made a mistake. You thought, based on her behavior that day around you, that the vet was making a mistake. But now, having seen her inside her home, refusing even her favorite treats, and clearly in so much pain, that it truly is time to take her to the vet. Take those pics, be there for your neighbor as she grieves - as she will allow you to, and support her in whatever her choices. She sounds like a great lady. The ramp thing reminds me of my great aunt H (the one with her husband in the ziplock in the basement in a file cabinet - well his ashes anyway). At the age of 89 she decided her basement needed to be painted. So she did it. She said the roller was too heavy so she used a brush. A 2 inch one! It was a pretty big basement too! She didn't stop mowing her lawn until she was 92 and had three bad falls. I want to grow up to be a combination of her and Eloise. Heaven help my children!!! I am sorry about the dog, but the smell is a sign that the sickness is truly terrible. I am sure your neighbor will understand that it was an honest mistake and you are thinking of her furbaby. The pictures are a great idea. You could take a photo from when the dog was healthier and make an enlargement and frame it - I am sure it would be a nice idea. [/QUOTE]
