I know Boo is doing a decline with her age, she is 14 now and I dread the day I loose her or she gets where I can no longer leave her alone when I go to work. However, I asked God to let her know happiness and securtiy before He took her from me and He has. I will love her as much and as hard as I can while I have her so when she goes back to Mama, she can say "ya know Mom, that girl of yours REALLY loved me a LOT!"... It is just hard to see them decline..

Just love them as much as you can so when their time comes, they know they were loved and can leave this world in peace and without fear.
