My beloved Patches is more than 14 years old. She is our first child, and has been a life saver for me over the past decade of infertility treatments and failures. I fear our time with her is coming to an end soon. She still has so much spunk, but her hips are starting to fail her. I hope and pray that I will not have to make the call and that she will just slip away. I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but for now she is still getting around and eating. She has her moments when walking is hard or her hips just give out. But I don't feel that she is in pain. I pray that I will know when she is in pain and have the strength to make her comfortable.
So for now, I am going to cherish each moment we have.
{{{hugs}}} and a priceless photo

ReplyDeleteSuch a sweetie! I hope everything is ok.
ReplyDeleteAwww, what a sweet little girl. Our two terriers are our first babies, and I can't imagine life without them. They are young, but already I dread the day when we may have to make a similar decision. She is lucky to have such a loving mama. : )
