When the time comes to put down your pet

So sorry Chris ... I'm in a similar boat with two cats. They are @ 16 and one has 3 legs. She can get around much. She seems to sleep all the time. Occasionally if I "bug her" enough she'll play for a few minutes ... The other has hip issues. I assume its arthritis. She can barely make it up the stairs anymore. Like your dog, all she gets excited about is eating. I too quietly hope that the decision is made for me and I don't have to do it.

I must say though, there is something different about dogs. I love the cats, don't get me wrong, but the relationship with a dog is just closer somehow.
