[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine getting old and incontinent and then your family constantly berating you, arguing, and moaning about how miserable it is that you peed yourself again. And, you knew deep down that they would kick you out if they could. That’s a horrible way to go.

Dogs aren’t emotionally that different than very young children. She can sense your resentment. Many dogs are super sensitive to arguing and yelling.

Just like you wouldn’t scare young children. Don’t scare her.

Be nice, give her an awesome, conflict-free few days. Tell her she is loved, and thank her for being there when you needed her. Take her to do some of her favorite things. Feed her some steak, and let her go peacefully in your lap.

You’re her mom. Either show up for her in her old age or let her go in the kindest way possible. [/quote]

Agree. No dog lover has kicked themselves for doing this too early. It is always done too late and usually takes an outsider to see what is gradual to the dog owner that the dog is unhappy that she’s not being a”good girl”. [/quote]
