I'm scared of the grief
My dog is 20. He is now blind and deaf and has been for about a year and a half. Overtime he's lost all interest in anything but eating. He was my best friend before this. He'd cry if he couldn't see me and now he's indifferent to me. He just sleeps eats sleeps eats rinse and repeat. He hasn't really wagged his tail in probably 6 months.
I think it's time but I am scared the grief will break me. He's not suffering, but I don't think he is enjoying life and that's why I think it's time... but I'm scared. I know it isn't supposed to be about me but I'm so worried I'm making the wrong decision and that it and the experience of doing it will haunt me forever.
Please, can you tell me what it was like? To put your best friend down and watch them take their last breath? Did they react ro the shot? What is the experience really like? And how do you live with it?
