Ming, my 13 yr-11 month old SharPei had cancer. My neice in law is a vet in another town. She gave me some great adivce. "Make a list of Ming's top ten favorite activities and check how many she is still doing. Is it 7 then it might not be time, is it 3 of them, what 3 are they and is that the quality of life she need/or happy with." Ming was doing 1 or 2 at best and one of those was just sitting with us....so I had to make the appoitment that day and now she is happy and out of pain in heaven with our other male which we lost 4 years ago....so I hope this helps someone let go of their best friend. I know it is hard but a very unselfish act. We recently had to make this painful decision. Ming, my 13 yr-11 month old SharPei had cancer. My neice in law is a vet in another town.
