Mimi is cactus

My poor little dog Mimi is literally on her last legs.
At 17,she is deaf and nearly blind .She has stopped eating and can no longer stand up. Taking her to the vet this morning.
I'm sad.

You're doing the right thing. When there is not one more thing they want to do, they're miserable. If it was bearable they'd just get on with it. When a dog doesn't want to sniff or eat or get around, time to let them go. It is a mercy for them.

Knowing that you are doing the right thing does not make it easier though, Pad.
My condolences on your loss.

Condolences. We have a 15 year old dog that is going downhill quickly, so I can relate. It is never easy to lose a member of the family.

I hope you'll accept my most heartfelt sympathies as well, Pad.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
