Everyone has shared some really nice sentiments. I think the most important issue is the fact that the dog is "suffering." She is becoming more and more debilitated day by day. Her comfort is paramount and it is crucial that every family member consider what it means to be sensitive and compassionate to this beloved family member. This is a good opportunity to teach your child about sensitivity and compassion. About how this dogs life is important and that we as stewards and guardians must ensure that we are determined to do right by her and to take care of her. Perhaps by alleviating her suffering if necessary.
