We lost KC, our yellow lab today. It was a decision made over a long period of time. The seizures stronger, longer and more frequent. The pain she tried to hide. We knew it was time. And yet we second guessed ourselves. Some days she would have spurts of energy, happiness… but those times rarely lasted more than a few minutes at a time. Most of the time, her quality of life was bad.
Taking her to the vet today, she had one of those spurts of alertness. Wanted to turn the car around. But we made the right decision. Our vet and staff were superb, as we stayed with her while she slipped away.
We have made tons of decisions over the last few months, this was the toughest.
