I debated on whether posting this ...and I hope you know I am doing so for concern for you...
I have been there...Mercedes (age 16) had the dementia as well during her last year here..its a sad feeling when there is no comfort you can give them. With her, she whined almost non stop, even while I was holding her. The doc said most likely it was confusement..she got lost in the house, was deaf, cataracts, severe arthritis, ran into things, she always acted like she was looking for me...and I could be right there next to her..but she did have good days occasionally. And the vet told me if she were her baby she would pick a good day to let her go and that is what I did..I didnt want to have to make that choice on a day when she was at her worst. We had a good morning together..saying our good byes..it was THE hardest decision...but I knew that the good days were few and far between. I couldn't bear to know she was in so much pain both physically and mentally. We had wonderful wonderful years together..it still hurts and I cry as I type this...I hope you and Disney have more good days, but for both your sake and hers, listen to your heart and make the decision when you know its time and altho you will hurt terribly, know its the right thing and done out of pure love.
