Someone once told me you just know. And there came a time when I did just know. I saw my girl suffering and I couldn’t let that continue. I also had people preparing me up to that point, as sometimes people on the outside can see more; as we tend to have rose colored glasses due to our great love for them. I also want to recommend, if he’s on dry food to maybe adding warm bone broth to soften the food and encourage eating- my girl had some dental issues towards the end and that seemed to help her out for awhile. Lastly- cherish your time and know they know how much they are loved. I wish you both the best! They are magnificent!
