After careful and tearful consideration Sita, my beloved will be put to sleep tomorrow. He spondylopathy is far advanced and her quality of life is decreasing.
She is my first dog, my teacher.
Sita means "devoted one" I can only return to the favor by letting her go. This is a very tough, VERY TOUGH decision....but I feel the right decision. Think of us wednesday 3:30 pm central time
I'm so sorry. But I commend you for being able to think of her quality of life. She is truly lucky to be with you and I'm sure she knows it. My thoughts will be with you both.
How do we really know if its time? For me it has come down to her dignity. She is a classy gal. Very proper. Here eyes are still bright and her attitude is good. She falls and drags here rear most of the time. She seems humiliated at times and stressed. Blessed girl. I ache for her. She has pain in her spine, but her legs really don't have much feeling. Today we play and remember the good times.
I'm sorry for your loss, it's a very tough decision to make. I've made it twice before and while I know I made the right decision, that didn't make it any easier. You are in my thoughts today!
