my cat was 15,
and, NOT in any pain
(ironically; i was aware, of a heart problem,
albeit, i choose to NOT give him meds)
i waited, til he had a stroke,
and, then, it took approx 33 hrs,
for him to pass; out of this life, to his next lifetime
it was an honour for me,
to usher him out,
whilst, i held him
my cat; hated needles
it was the best thing, i ever did
i will NEVER forget, feeling his spirit, as, he departed
i will NEVER forget, my own trine/or trinity
of a higher self/essence/and, monad,
who came, to take him away,
and, flew off his crown,
through my third eye,
and, then returned approx 8 hours later
if there are meds,that, will help your beloved dog,
by all means, get that, and, help the dog, to live longer, and,
perhaps; better ~ consider that
it is NOT easy, to let, them go
i know, they truly are a big part of us
they love us, with 'no condiitons'
ironically, after they depart,
they often choose to work with us,
in 'etheric forms'
and, we are never truly parted from them,
energetically, they are always around us
it is a hard call - trust your heart / trust your gut
i will send lots of energy, light, and, love to both of you
sometimes, an animal, slows down in fall,
and, esp. an animal, that is a little bit older
my 15 year old cat, did that,
starting at around is 12th winter,
so, perhaps, it just might be a fall slow-down ?
give them lots and, lots of love,
and, also understanding,
they too, sometimes, need to depart,
to get onto their next assignment
(which ironically, for you, could be,
them being your spirit 'dog' / guide
big hugs to both of you
and, lots of healing/and, love too
