Our dog is almost 19 years old and keeps hanging on to pretty good health, but has slowly lost her hearing and incontinent. She is like my husband’s first baby. I just want her to die already because it is so hard to care for her. I love her but I am tired. I miss her old self when you wouldn’t have to deal with diapers, wandering around confused, and old dog issues. I wonder if this will be how I am when my parents get old, or if I had to care for a person. And it annoys me that my husband loves her sooooo much. And that she keeps being healthy. I just wish that one day she won’t wake up so we don’t have to make the really hard decision at some point very soon. Or I wish that the decision would be made obvious very shortly, not keep dragging out. I’m trying to enjoy the time we have left with her.
