My ten yr old dog is dying

I was hoping for some wise words. My ten year old collie cross started to radically slow down and lose weight over the last few months. We're waiting on further sample results but the vet believes she has liver damage, possibly a tumour. She's still eating and occasionally finding enough energy to chase our cat or bark at the postman but she's mostly lying down wherever I happen to be. I'm heartbroken but resolved to be with her to the end. The vet says don't let her linger and the time has come to bring her in when she stops eating. I'm just wondering how others managed going through this. Thanks.

When I lost my girl in March, a friend gave me forget me nots in a flower pot engraved with her name and the words ‘the legend who brightened our lives.’

What a beautiful gesture! That's so sweet. And yes, they really do brighten our lives.

So sorry OP. Our pets have such special places in our hearts. I lost my beautiful rough collie 30 years ago & if I see a dog that looks like him, I still feel extremely emotional. It sounds like you gave your lovely Lucy the absolute best life you could & she was cherished to the very last moment 💐💐💐

What a lovely way to go - sounds like Lucy had a lovely life and a peaceful death. Sorry for your loss Flowers
