You're a pet owner who loves her dog but has her priorities in order...husband and human children need to come first. You are not the worst pet owner ever. I have no doubt that Lottie gets plenty of love between the five of you and knows that she's an important part of the family. I think your current decision is a good one, and should provide her with a good quality of life for a while. She most likely has at least 3-5 years left in her, maybe even more.

Even though she can't use her back legs now she is the happiest thing I have ever seen! Lottie knows you love her lots!! You are a good mama.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675785607433786634.post-16069487564234702792009-05-30T19:21:38.450-04:002009-05-30T19:21:38.450-04:00I know what you are going through.

Sometimes there are hard decisions that have to be made.....Gaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11262740212743669791noreply@blogger.com
