I have 2 dogs that are getting up in age. I've recently started thinking about what to do when they die. I have decided that as I rent my home and don't have a yard, but I don't want to just leave them in someone else's hands, I am going to have them cremated. My vet does that here. They put their ashes in a box that you can put their picture and name on. I have then made it known that at a point that I die, they are to be buried with me. But just so people won't freak, I'm not saying kill them if I die first. I do have someone that will take them should something happen to me. I wish you luck. I know how hard it is to start thinking of losing a beloved pet!! I have a dog that has been paralyzed for 6 yrs - so don't give up hope of them having a long fulfilling life!

There is alot of things I can tell you having worked for a vet many years ago, but let's cut to the chase:
1. If your dog is in bad shape and suffering maybe you should have her put to sleep its painless and it really does end her suffering, It's what I would call a last resort so don't worry my friend has had his dog for ever and the dog is blind and she is still a good dog
2. Your dog is 10 well I have some good news your dog can live for anywhere up to 14 or 15 on average but should an untimely death occur just take the dog down to your vet or S.P.C.A. and they will take care of it, my advise is to dig a 4 foot deep hole for the dog and plant a rose bush on top of her that's what we did and the rose bush blooms every year and we remember our pooch that way!

The same thing you've been doing for her...loving her.
All dogs will get to the point where age starts to get the best of them.
Putting a dog down just because it's going blind and deaf and sheds is no reason at all.
That would be like me wanting Dr. Kevorkian to help my grandma die because she is 89, and an amputee with heart failure.
It's QUALITY of life, NOT quantity.
If your pet is going downhill fast, have her checked out at the vet. But, if this is a gradual situation, then just love her 'til the end.

you bury her, you grieve for her, you miss her, and when you are ready you get a new puppy. When I lose a dog, I have always made up some sort of scrapbook with photos, and the collar, and some of the toys to remember the dog by. I have the Rainbow Bridge poem made up and put a photo of my dog on it and frame it.

Just do what I did when my dog died. I burried her in a nice shady spot under the lemon tree where she liked to lie on hot days.
If you dont have a yard, you can take her to the vet and they will usualy take care of things for you.
