Well, many of you know about my sweet Miss Paisley. For those who have not heard of her before, she is my 16 year old Westie, my sweet love of a pup. For the past year, she has suffered from some malady that causes her to have seizures. We discovered that the leash caused some of them when we walked her, so we stopped taking her for our weekend walks with Kirby and the DH. I had been seeing a specialist in the spring and did all the tests I could do without invasive measures. The vet had told me no matter what test we did to figure out what was going on, it would not be good news. So we decided to keep her comfortable and love her to pieces for the time she had left. In addition to whatever neurological issue she has, she is also basically blind and mostly deaf. Although she can still smell a slice of pizza from a room away!
I think the time has come to make that tough decision. I hope I have the strength, but I really don't want to come home and find her in pain or in the middle of a seizure. I need some good wishes for strength to get me- and Paisley, through this.
