My dog is about 15 years old now. She has started to have small seizures and is in declining health. I live 3 hours away from my dog and go to college, and I have to face the fact that, when she dies, it is almost certain that I will not be there to comfort her or watch her go. She has had a good life, one that I have at times even envied, and although it's not my fault, I hate myself for not being able to do this last thing for her. I really feel for you and hope it gets better. I am not getting another dog after this. Maybe if I have kids, they can get a dog, but it will never be mine.
