My three grandkids will be losing a beloved dog tomorrow. In January, she developed a tumor on the inside of her muzzle that turned out to be inoperable. She's now in terrible shape, down to skin and bones, weak and disoriented, her eyes running, drooling uncontrollably, and emitting a terrible stench when she breathes. She'll be euthanised at home tomorrow. It's been a tough decision for my son, their dad. He rescued her from the street 10 years ago. The kids have been through the deaths of two cats and a dog (they're 11, 8, and 3). It's so sad to see the dog going through this decline. She still eats and drinks a bit but doesn't play anymore. Falls down sometimes. She always slept in the kids' bedrooms, but can't get up the stairs anymore.
