I guess we all have our priorities. The DOGS that are afflicted with this horrible disease are the ones doing the real suffering. You are going to survive it, your dog is not. They cannot make the choice NOT to suffer, they are completely dependent on us. They try to tell us in the only way they know how and we need to listen to them. We have to be willing to bear a tremendous sorrow ourselves in order to relieve their pain, and I believe that is what we owe the dogs that we love so dearly. So it's salt in whose wound? I'm going to stand with the dogs on this.
Should dogs suffer because we can't bear to let them go until we can't bear the intensity of their suffering any longer? Perhaps because you work with humans who can't be relieved of their suffering you see it more from a human perspective. The greatest and most personally painful gift we can bestow on an animal is to relieve the suffering they cannot.
My heart is with you tomorrow.
