My old lady Twiggy,

I've told you how she is losing weight, blind, very, very hard of hearing and almost 17 yo. She has really lost weight, I can see her hip bones a little now. She still loves her snacks, and gets around ok, not great but ok. Today I came home and gave her her med in some chopped turkey boob er I mean breast. She ate it down, drank a little water, then walked into her bed and proceeded to throw it all up. She fell on her side and couldn't right herself and I grabbed her. She continued to gag and have the heaves but nothing was left in her little tummy. I changed her bedding, and wiped up her mouth and she is now resting in her bed. Here's the thing, I know her life isn't what it used to be when she could see and hear. I know she is frail and does still have some joyful times. But when do you know? I asked this before and she doesn't seem ready to give up but it's so hard to watch. Please help, any suggestions, encouragement would be appreciated.:( It's so hard to watch them get old. My heart is breaking, I swear.:(

I agree with the others -- no one can know better than you when the proper time is.

And it's not a comfortable decision but it's even more uncomfortable to not make it when that proper time has come.
