angel

i think angel may be thinking of passing tonight. she has been been off today but has been up to drink several times and she ate some chicken a couple of times too. tonight she seems so peaceful, so accepting. i pick her up and she rests gently in my arms..awake, aware...softly, quietly content...like she knows and is patiently waiting for something. i almost caved and took her to emerg. but really right now she doesn't need any help. she is not distressed, she is not upset. but she will be upset if i pack her up and take her out, it frightens her when i take her away from all she is comfortable with. it is so hard to be an old blind frail dog out in the unknown away from everything familiar.

i really do not know if she is passing or not..maybe the heat drained her a bit today even tho we kept the fan on her all day. but my gut says maybe she is preparing to leave. i think i will just hold her and wait a while with her. she does trust me to be there, whatever she may need.
