Thank You All for the quick replies. It means a lot to hear your stories. I don't feel so lost & alone. My vet said I will know when she no longer responds to me when I walk in the room, but I don't want her to suffer, and be kept here for my benefit. My vet is very helpful, but I knew that my GSD friends could be more helpful and comforting, especially since many of you have been through this. Thanks again for everything. I was feeling like there was more I should be doing, but now know that I'm doing the best I can.
