I agree with what Carol said, everyone knows when the time has really come. Usually it's when the point comes where they won't eat, barely move and usually losing weight. It sounds like she still has her spark in her. :)

I agree with all of the above. Gretel sounds like she's probably doing okay, although you might want to have a blood test done on her, just to see if she's got some sort of infection. I've got a 14 year old poodle, and I'm always worried about any change in behavior, so I totally sympathize. Keep an eye on her, and if need be, take her into the vet for a checkup. She will let you know when it's time, as hard as that is. In the meantime, feed her all the roast she wants! Big hugs to you.

We are going through exactly the same decision making with our Brandy. It rips your guts out.

Hey! Thanks for the note you left me yesterday. Ironically, I think I was reading your diary at the same time you were reading mine. (I clicked on the link in Heather's comments, too!) To answer your question, I do transcription for an insurance company, so I transcribe interviews between claims investigators and the claimants, usually regarding auto accidents. It can be very entertaining. I'll be checking out your archives so I can catch up with your current entries. :)
