so I am so sad and heart broken our family has to say goodbye to our dog that we had for 17 years. (she's 17 years old) she is going to the bathroom in the house she almost went into the road, she cant see when we open doors for her. she seems confused a lot and is starting to nip. I have a one year old so it is best for all of us. I haven't set a day yet and I'm stalling. She would be 18 Oct 1. She's lived a long and happy life. I don't know what to do or where to go. I really don't want to do this. I have had her since I can remember. I have never had to do this before. help me. please tell me it gets easier. I love her with all of my heart.
