"Timing is everything," right? Maybe not. Maybe just making the right choices is everything and timing is just a variable. We've made the right choice. It's time to let Sammie move on and die in peace with dignity and as little pain and suffering as possible. We (okay, namely I) don't have the right to force her to endure a drawn-out, pitiful existence in the sunset of her life.
And I won't. Andy won't let me. God bless him. But he and Munchkin will go with me to the vet's office to say our final goodbyes and hold our sweet "puppy" as she slips and sleeps away. I can do this. I must do this. I will do this. It's the right thing to do.
I'm not sure, but I think we'll go tomorrow. At least one of us has evening commitments Wed, Thurs and Fri nights and Pepper will not need to be left alone that first evening. We're supposed to be somewhere tomorrow night too - busy week for us! - but we're about to bail on that. Priorities. Death in the family is a priority and Sammie & Pepper are family. We have to do what's right for both of them and us too. Pepper's whole life has been with Sammie. She deserves consideration as well.
