I wish your dad would give you the option of helping her go. My grandmother put my aunt's doxie to sleep a few years ago when my aunt was in school. It's been almost 6 years and my aunt still hasn't forgiven her for not letting her say goodbye. I hope he at least holds her paw when she crosses over. I am still working on my mom to realize that there's a point in time where keeping her dog alive turns into selfishess. I'm sure you will give her the best week ever and she will remember you as the best person a dog could hope for.
