Silversnake 1,099 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Only the owner knows when 'the time is right' sometimes when the dog isn't old or sick too. All the best with your old bitch, I hope she lives out the rest of her days pain free and in peace. Quote Link to post

Neal 1,869 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 The old kelpie in my avatar is fifteen. He's had trouble getting around, off and on, for several years thanks to an earlier rta. However, he's still happy; some days he'll walk to the wood; some days he'll just pop to the corner shop; sometimes he can only manage a short bimble around the garden to empty himself...but, as I said, he's still happy and he's given me more than I'll ever be able to repay so he can bimble about as long as he wants as far as I'm concerned. 1 Quote Link to post
