Our yorkie doesn't seem to be doing well these days. he has been walking around in circles alot. we took him to the vet & he said he has vertigo & nothing really he can do about it because he is 16 yrs old. he could have a brain tumor but the tests would be alot of money & even if it is a tumor they couldn't do anything about it because of his age. My DH has had him for 16 yrs & we all moved in together 2 years ago. he doesn't seem himself. doesn't even seem like a dog. its like he is in a shell. My MIL thinks we should put him down because he seems to be suffering. My DH says he isn't ready too & i really don't want to bring it up. He has been with DH through alot of tough times. Even though i have had only 2 yrs. it breaks my heart to know he wouldn't be around. I love to death & would do anything for him. i can't stand to see him like this. My MIL doens't think i should bring this up to DH. Honestly i don't think he would agree to put him down. i don't even know who makes that decision. i never had a dog before. i would luv to have around forever but i also don't want to see him suffer. i tried to even convince myself that he is alright. I thought as long as he has an appetite he is fine.
sorry if i am rambling on, i have been crying most of the night. pets really do become part of the family.
DH is sleeping & waking up to go to work soon
Please say prayers that we make the right decision & hoping that my doggie isn't suffering

Re: Need some prayers for my dog
I'm so sorry for you. Prayers for your doggie... This is one of the hardest decisions you'll ever have to make, and it kills you because they are such a part of the family. If he is suffering though, it may be best to help him out. I hope you and FH find the strength you need to make this hard decision.
