What's Bothering You?

My 16 year old dog isn't doing well. I know I should be grateful she made it this far, and for having 14 years with her, but I've been crying every day for the past week. I don't know how much time she has left - it could be a few days or a few weeks. I've been trying to spend more time with her and I've been giving her her favorite treats, since food and pets are the only thing that makes her happy lately. She doesn't feel well enough to do much of anything since her joints hurt so much, and it makes me so sad to see her this way. It's been heartbreaking trying so many things to help her and nothing has worked.

I have saved for an in-home euthanasia, but everytime I think about it, I start crying hysterically. I really want to be able to hold it together for when the vet comes, because I hate crying in front of strangers, and I need to be able to talk to her about certain details, but I know I'm just going to be a wreck. It feels overdramatic to say, but my grief feels unbearable.

No, it's totally understandable to feel so sad. They're part of your family. Hoping for the best.
 
I'm washing the floor and my mom is walking all over it with her shoes, the same shoes she wore in the garden 2min ago. She thinks her shoes are not dirty.
I don't get her, when we were little, shoes, clothes we wore outside, were not allowed in the house, but that law never applied to her.
