--updated page 48--Rockee's time too?

[K9soul]

This thread is about Rockee, therefore the only observations necessary to the thread are those pertaining to Rockee and thoughts about what is best for her. I don't know of many people who would appreciate and find comfort in some clinical and impersonal observations about age versus level of care in a thread that is supposed to be a tender subject about their elderly/ill dog.

I can only say that no one can really tell you when it's "time." Only you can make that determination and what we consider "that time" may be different for each of us. Whatever you decide, cherish each day and each hour you have left with her. I am sure she is a very loved girl.

I agree 100% with this post and Holly's also. Awhile ago I started the same type of the thread with Sassy and I didn't get such remarks, I don't get why other people deserve it. I know if this type of BS had been in my thread I would have been PISSED.

Also, you may want to try water therapy. I just saw something about that the other day. They have it in NH - at a day care/kennel. The dog is put in a big tub of water and it does the dog paddle. I guess it's great therapy work. It may help to work the muscles a bit? I don't know. Just throwing that out there. Good luck.
