I have been praying that when she passes it will be in her sleep from her heart... because I know it will be the toughest thing to put her down even if she becomes completely paralyzed and in pain...because how can you do that when your dog is coherent? (sigh).... that is tough. Last night we noticed it looks like she has pus or sores on her back end... Maybe from sleeping all day in the same position? Kinda like people get bed sores? I dont know... very sad.
I know she has lived a long great life... just super sad for Donnie as he had trouble sleeping last night worrying about it and Kona is his Rocky.... and those of you who know, Rocky he passed last year.
Lord give us peace & wisdom in this situation... it is so tough.

I am in the same boat with my old boy. He is 9 now. He has started doing his bussiness in the house atleast once a day because he won't go down the back stairs. He has already fallen down them several times. He has started getting super grumpy and I am worried that he may hurt the kids because he is in pain. It makes me very sad to think I may have to put him down.
I'm so sorry, Shauna (and Donnie.) Losing a pet, especially one you've had for so long is excruciating - it's losing a family member. My dog, Bandit was 17 when we had to put him down. Anyways, I'll keep Kona in my thoughts that he goes peacefully in his sleep. My thoughts are with you guys.
...and on a side not, my parent'scat is named Kona.
