Firstly, please go easy on me. I'm literally freaking out. I live abroad and our very much loved dog started limping weirdly this week and then his entire back end crashed. My poor baby has cancer. Final tests coming in but they think it's terminal.
At the weekend, we have to leave the country for a party to celebrate my Mum. Dog was supposed to go to doggy care. My mum isn't particularly well and this will, realistically, be the last time our entire family are all together. We will be out the country for 2 weeks.
So, what would you do? My choices are:
a) Put him to sleep now, knowing he could die while we are away and at least he would be with us when it happens
b) Cancel the trip altogether, knowing this is the last time my Mum could possibly have her family together before she dies
c) Hire a dog sitter, knowing there is chance the dog will die while we are away (and they would be aware of that) and I would feel awful forever if he does.
Seriously, what do I do?!
