Thank you for the support on the decision that was made. In a situation like this, one's heart is screaming to "save them". But when you think about it logically for all the suffering the dog would go through, and best chance scenario would be a very short life extension.... well, my friend and I are of the same mind. We need to do what is best for the dog, and put our heartbreak aside. This is always a heart wrenching decision to make.
Again, thanks for the support.
There has just been too much, in a short time span. We lost two of ours last fall, just weeks apart. Today is the anniversary of her losing her other female last year on this very day.
