I don't want to prolong her agony, but I don't want to put her down if it's not necessary. In all honesty, we are prepared for the worst. She's been a wonderful member of the family, she's done her job as a Momma Dog and all the others are trained because of her (the Aussie in her). She sleeps at the foot of my bed on a pallet made of blankets with our smell on them.

Right now she is breathing hard, she's lost weight although she is eating.

I just can't watch her like this anymore. If it were me...put me down. I don't want to suffer, nor do I want my family to suffer watching me in pain.
