Will be having our 14 year old jack/yorkie cross put to sleep on Saturday.

She has numerous issues:

Kidney Disease

Lumps in her mouth making it hard for her to eat dry food (if she only eats wet she ends up with diarrhea) she's currently ignoring her biscuits unless she's really hungry and is dropping them or swallowing them without chewing. (which she is today she's got a bad tummy today so we couldnt give her wet food)

Barely plays anymore if she does it 5 minutes, has a fed up face most of the day (the I've completely had enough look)

Arthritis, has had it for 4 years. Her front and back legs collapse frequently through the day. The vet gave her anothrr pain med and said if it didn't help that was it in terms of extra things to keep her comfortable.

High blood pressure

She's also has this shake to her, like shes slightly vibrating which I think is to do with being in pain.

Vet also said that due to morbidity factors having her out under to have her teeth and lumps sorted it was something that if they did that her legs could go the next day, which I wouldn't want to put her through. Also she sounds off when she breathes.

I need advice though, I keep thinking maybe it's too soon were trying to take her to her favourite places this week give her the foods she loves so she has a lovely time. Shes always excited when something is going on, cooking, us coking home or us taking her out but alot of the time it's short lived.

My biggest concern is Saturday she's going to get all excited she's going out but it's to the vet and she won't be coming home, and I think I'm gonna panic and change my mind.

I don't want her to get to a point where she's really suffering and I have to make the decision but I also don't want to loose her. Part of me thinks this is the best for her before she gets too bad. Had her for 9 years and she has been spoilt rotten.

Need some help on how to ease this as I'm constantly on edge.

​

My front door opens out onto public pavement, there's two houses next to me, recently people keep coming up from the next street standing outside, mainly during the day to have phone calls etc no idea why they can't stand outside their own homes.

​

Any noise and I am at the window trying to see and make sure they aren't doing something to my house or surveying it.

​

Ive put a voile up under the normal curtain in the hopes to stop me, but it's not. I'm not confrontational so as much as I would like to just go outside and say something like can I help you which may make them think twice about hanging around outside my house I dont.

​

Its putting me to the point where I don't want to live here and I'm just feeling down all day. When I try not to look my brain goes into overdrive and I can't think of anything else.

​

I thought about a camera but I also don't want to draw attention to my house with a camera too. Based in the UK so I'd have to put uk a cctv sticker too.

CCTV window battery camera

​

My front window is onto a public pavement but technically the only people walking past should be my neighbours and anyone visiting them

​

However I'm having an issue with people down the street coming and standing at the window smoking and having conversations on their phones instead of outside their own house.

​

I want to deter them as it makes me anxious having them outside I have issues , and I think sticking a camera there would help.

​

I don't have my curtains open I'd rather not have a wire running, so would prefer a battery one. Preferably small, that doesn't require a subscription, and I think I'd have to stick one of those cctv stickers on too.

​

Or any other suggestions to get them to p\*\*\* off, besides me shouting at them. Went outside earlier and one was there and I turned back round and slammed my front door before she noticed me, she went over the road 🤣

Am going to be purchasing this to start off making digital drawings and designs, can only afford basic at the moment.

I am trying to find a compatible paper feel protector most are for ipad so not sure they would fit.

Would anyone have any reccomendations, as I think I will like to still have that paper feel rather than direct on to the screen.

Edit - based in the UK

I have got alot of items to get listed in currently sitting on 400 items listed.

I list every day 10 items roughly sometimes a little less so it's around 70 items a week.

Am I pushing it with this or is it possible to list a bit more a week/ day all my items are random, mainly books and pretty much everything is used.
