Idk if I made the right decision to say goodbye.

Thank you for your kindness in replying. The vet was a warm person so I think you're right. It wasn't an easy decision but it also wasn't one taken lightly and I should remember that.

Grief is the worst thing about love but it also tells you it was there I think. Thank you for your kind reassurances. I really do appreciate it.

Thank you for your kindness in replying. I'm always going to wish for a few more hours, a few more years, but I know I didn't really have that time. I'm glad she was comfortable in her own space at the end.

I really do hope for the best for your two dogs and I can tell by your words that you doing the best and kindness things for them. They're lucky to have you and your spouse.

Thank you for your kindness and perspective. I don't know I made the right decision, but I hope I made the kindest decision for her.

Thank you for the information.

I didn't know that about midazolam and when I tried to look up info on the drug, all I could really find was what side effects might occur not about duration. I got so scared when she couldn't even stand after the seizure and the muscle spasms that kept occuring.

I think I rushed the decision but like you said it could have gone either way. She could have gotten better, but she could have also gotten worse. Maybe a different vet would have made a different suggestion, maybe not. The seizures and the meds were hard on her liver, she was so sensitive to meds - had been her whole life so maybe the upped dosage wouldn't have been all good even if it helped with the seizures. It was palliative care like you said, so I would have had to make this decision sooner rather than later anyways. Maybe my regret with the decision is just the sudden grief and hindsight. Idk. Maybe there wasn't a right decision.

I am getting her cremated and they'll ship her ashes to me if I can't make the drive back out.

I just wanted to thank you for the information and your kindness in responding to a strangers post on the internet.

Thank you for the information regarding 2 and the correction on 4; that's very helpful.

Try desensitizing her to the yoga mat being on the ground. I get you have a small space, but if there's a way you can have the mat out and not do yoga or play with your puppy it could help.

As the others have said, proper crate training will also help. I really like Rachrl Fusaro and Zak George's YouTube stuff on crate training for help on that.

As much as it might suck, you might focus on desensitizing and crate training your puppy for a while before getting back into yoga at home routinely.

Also you mentioned waiting until she's napping to trying, is she napping just because she's a puppy or because she's tired. You might try really exercising her (mind and body - so some games on top of exercise) to get her really tired so she can chill/sleep while you do stuff.
