I know, I know, who wants to hear that they will be put to sleep?! Terrible thing to say.
But I have always spoken to my dog very clearly about what's happening. If dd has a playdate coming or if a man he will want to shout at is coming to look at the boiler. I let him know.
He is a very old dog who rallied after a change of meds at Christmas but the last week has rapidly declined Today we are taking him to the vet to discuss it. I've told him we are going to see the vet today to "talk about things" and he let out a very long noisy sigh.
I have considered that when we next take him back for the final appointment I could say "we're going to see the vet, so he can help you one last time" or "make you comfortable". I feel like I can't say nothing, because I always tell him what's what. But should I say anything?? Maybe I am just doing it for myself and I should just say "come on, lets's go see the vet" and not say anything more. For some reason I feel like this is tricking him, letting him think he's coming home when he isn't.
I don't know maybe you'll all thing it's very wrong to say anything to him.. I realise I my anxiety about the whole thing is spilling into this.. please let me know your thoughts..
