So I know how you feel. Focus on the good times and joy you shared with your pet.
Our dog is now blind, deaf and mute. Just a year and half ago she was an active and fast running dog.
Now she can not even find her food bowl. We will keep her alive so long as she is eating. I don't mind taking her out in the backyard every 1.5-2 hours cuz she can't hold the bladder any longer.
