[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Right Time is when you are ready You have been a good and loving dog parent[/quote] Respectfully, no. The right time is when the dog's quality of life has diminished beyond functionality (can't eat, messes inside, can't enjoy its day) and isn't reasonably expected to improve. Many people hang on way too long. Dogs don't want to mess inside, or be carried, or lose their ability to please and engage their owners. It's stressful to them to hang on until we're ready. We love them; we're never ready. But they are, and there are distinct signs. Our final act of love for our pets is giving them a gentle death while they're still themselves.[/quote]
