Baby fine, Doggy not fine

Zoe is my rescue dog she lives with my mom but mom and I "share" her. We got her from the SPCA 5 years ago and she is just a doll. But she is now 11 and like many 11 year old dogs her health is failing. Recently mom and I have both noticed she is in a lot of pain and so mom took her into the vet. It is the C word, it is all over and she is in pain. Mom and I both believe in quality of life over quantity, for humans and pets. However she also knows if she had put her down while I wasn't there or didn't get to say good bye it would kill me. So on Saturday we are doing it, together. Zoe will spend tonight with me and R so I have some time to say good bye. I am very sad but know this is the right thing to do. She snapped at me twice during her last bath, she has never done that and has started to act aggressively toward my mom too. She is in pain and neither of us blame her for it but it also means she isn't safe to be around for kids. With my sis and her kids living with my mom and her levels of pain the Vet said "soon" when we asked when we should do it. So Saturday it is.

I am very sad, very very very sad about losing her. She isn't the first pet I have lost to C and sadly with the levels of pollution in the world she won't be the last. Please, I will need strength to get through this so please don't question our decision. Thanks for all the support ladies.
