Dread
The talk is up in the air and it scares me..
Buffy is 15 years old.. and her sight is pretty much gone and she is nearly deaf and he back end isnt strong.. she can still walk and such on her own.. and she doesnt have accidents..
she gets excited and bounces around and gets old lady dog hyperness when asked if she wants to go byebye .. but yet.. mom is talking of putting her down.. I think mom is more realistic then me.. since.. well.. Buffy is my sister.. i was a lonely 13 year old kid in need of a true friend when mom took her in after her client (buffys first owner) ended up going to a retirement home and couldnt take care of buffy any more.. and i guess i still have that kid thought pattern when it comes to buffy and i see the puppy still in her.. but..it seriously scares me.. and when mom points it out.. i notice things about the old girl.. she walks stiffly .. its arthritis.. the slightest touch to her back end makes her backend curl to the left.. she cant jump in the car any more so i have to pick her up.. i dont mind picking her up... and she doesnt act like life is miserable..she really does love going bye bye..
I Hope that when the time comes i can be strong enough..
I just dont know what im gonna do..
it just scares me that that talk is going on.. is she ready to go.. over the rainbow bridge.. am i ready to let her go.. I know that if and when she does go ill have Ace there to comfort me.. im just scared.. I cant believe she has been in my life 13 years..

Oh no I'm so sorry. My cat Louie, he was my cat from the time I was two, until about a year ago. It's so heartbreaking:( but I'm happy that he is in a better place because now he isn't old and in pain. He was the most people friendly cat I everknew, but in those last two years, he couldn't be picked up, held or pet anywhere other than his head be size his body was so frail and weak... I guess it's just a remember the dead as they were before. I'm sad I'll never see him again in this lifetime.. But at least for now he isn't hobbling around anymore but jumping up on things and chasing birds again.

Thank you all.. Mom thinks she wont make it to Christmas.. but im hoping she will because for christmas i wanna spoil her to death giving her nummies and stuff..She is a wonderful old lady... I just hope WHEN mom decides (she is her dog so i have no say) its time I will be strong enough and that we can have a day to spoil her.. I showed mom this article i read somewhere where this guy knew he was going to have to put his dog down that he gave him one free day... to do all he wanted.. to eat what he wanted.. i wanna do that to buffy :) she deserves it for all the times she has given me hope and such

I know exactly how you feel. I knew it was time to let Brynner go but there was a part of me that had doubt. I didn't want to take any time away from him but I knew he was struggling. When he stopped being happy, we knew he was ready to move on. Jen, you are a strong, caring and wonderful person. I know when it is time you will make the right decision for Buffy. *hugs*

So sorry to hear this. Just keep on loving her and try to keep her happy. In the end, that's all anyone really wants. To be loved and happy. Try not to be sad or anxious about it (never easy and almost impossible, I know), just treasure her. Keep us posted. And many hugs to you!

The most horrible time of having a furkid (or fursibling)....I'm so sorry Jen. Dogs are so good at hiding pain, it seems. Buffy will tell you when it's time to go. Above all else, you must do what's best for her as hard as it will be for you. I know you and I'm sounding all maternal saying that, I guess. I'm sorry. Perhaps a talk with the vet, as he/she might be able to read Buffy a bit better as to how much pain she is in (is her heartrate faster than normal for her age, is her breathing faster? Those indicate stress in a dog). I dread the day I will go through what you are now...there's no easy way.
