cpietra, my heart breaks for you at having to go through this. As you probably remember I went through it last fall with Shadow who was 14. Did I get a clear indicator from her, no. I had to pick the day. And like you I did change it once. That said, I don't regret my decision to have her put to sleep when I did. It was hard as hell, don't get me wrong, but from the friends who have since told me that they regret that they waited too long, I know I did the right thing.

I agree with Longblades, I think they try to put on a brave front for us. But only we can make that decision for them. Winnie is beautiful and has been blessed with 15 years with you. Wow, you are both so lucky. Trust your heart my friend, and you will know within yourself when it's time to let Winnie go with dignity. I wish I could give you wonderful words, but there really are none other than trust your heart. Winnie will understand and always love you.
