She is quite pathetic now. She no longer roams the neighborhood, she limps very badly, is terrified of loud noises (probably because she is deaf). She still enjoys her dinner.
Not sure what to do with her while we are on vacation.
She may be miserable for 10 days or we put her down.
How certain are we that she's going to die during this time period, regardless? If it's certain she's dying then have her put down. If she's just old and feeble, I'm not of the opinion that death is preferable to inconvenience..not for people or animals.

well if you take a one hour ride and drop her off she will be there when you get back.
my dog is old, she is going on 15 and getting deaf and blind, kidneys failing slowly, if we took a trip and she could not come, we would pay professional sitter if we had to to come sit with her etc.
Oh, damn. Now I'm crying too.I'd ask myself the hard question: What is more tragic? Having her last days spent being broken-hearted (misting up while typing this) or having her go peacefully with her last moments in your arms knowing she is loved so much?I think no matter what we do, if we leave her alone at this point, she'll die of a broken heart.Don't miss out on the time with your family. Are you worried because you'll have to kennel her, or do you know someone she'd be comfortable staying with??
She's always been terrified of kennels or boarding at the vet.
(Dammit, now full blown tears.)
I mostly agree with this. The problem is I can no longer tell if she is happy or not. Or how much pain she is really in.How certain are we that she's going to die during this time period, regardless? If it's certain she's dying then have her put down. If she's just old and feeble, I'm not of the opinion that death is preferable to inconvenience..not for people or animals.
That's my thought, too. But then I feel guilty about not blowing off my vacation with my kids, who I haven't seen together since Christmas.If it were my pet, I'd only put her down if I was certain she'd be miserable while I was away on vacation.
It is really hard not to know what is not the selfish thing to do.

I spent thousands and was around him as much as possible when my Cocker Spaniel got cancer. When he stopped eating..I knew it was time.
It broke my heart.
dont put your dog down.....you will fill guilty for the rest of your life...ever vacay....dogs do much better when they are outta sight from their owners....what you see as a scared little lifeless dog.....may be totally different at the vets.....sure they put on this big act when you leave...but 10 minutes later they are happy again....
have the kids come see you.....or just board the dog....she will be fine for 10 days....what is the worse that can happen? she could die....well if you put her down...she will die...give her a chance......and talk to your vet....dont put your dog down cause it limps.....damn it woman

That's because dogs are better than people.Dogs make most people better people.
