Cozy Is Dying, I must have my dog put to sleep Options

[Doximom]

I am very touched by the stories and sensitive responses on the site. My miniature doxie, Cozy, lies in her bed beside me now. The only thing that remains a constant with her now is here desire to stay close by me. Her poor tummy is swollen due to complications of congestive heart failure. Last night's trip to the vet was hopeful in that the vet increased the diuretics to the most advisable and I thought she could rally. She refuses almost all food now and I only managed to get her pills down with some deli meat. Over the last few days she would eat something for awhile and then refuse it. I cannot let her go on like this but my heart is breaking over what I must do. I have been a widow for ten years and my two little dogs have seen me through some bad times. They are my only housemates and I love them so dearly. Please say a prayer that I can have the strength to do what I have to do. Thank you for hearing me out, Cozy's mom.

We have our Jake's ashes in a wooden box in our living room along with some clippings of his hair, his picture and his two favorite chew toys. It is a comfort and makes me feel like his spirit is here with us. Still, after 7 months this very day, I miss his physical presence terribly.
