How is her quality of life otherwise? Is she eating and eliminating normally? Does she still seem happy? Does she have plenty of water available at all times?

Oh yes, she is provided with everything. I guess last Sat. she went out to do her business and she decided to cross the bridge over their creek. She's been doing this all her life, she only made it half way and simply layed down. Couldn't make it. Uncle checked up on her after a while and carried her back home. They have a have a few acres, she loves the outdoors. She still loves to eat and watch t.v., loves pets and belly rubs and treats of all sorts. They want her to pass at home with them I think. Clearly. Thanks for asking, it's so sad. We love her so much

I think she should probably have someone with her whenever she goes out, and make sure she has comfy places to lie down, blankets on the floor or whatever! Make it a habit for checking her over for wounds once a day, so you and she will get used to it. Take pictures, and love her to pieces!

Yes, that sounds like an excellent plan. Uncle is 70 and very spry and somewhat fit. Aunty has been crippled all her life. I think if he lets her out the front door where there are not so many stairs,( there's like SO many stairs in the back 40) it would definitely help. I think he forgets to do that. would be so much better. We just wish that there was more that we could do for her. $ is no object, just wanna make her life and death as kind and gentle as possible. gotta go bawlin' now, any more advce is welcome
