Believe me you don’t want any regrets. My father died in the hospital asking everyday to please let him come home. Instead of listening to my gut I listened to doctors. I wish I had brought him home. I did not make the same mistake with my mother. She died at home where she was comfortable with her little dog by her side. It was scary for me to watch her slowly die, I was afraid she was hungry and thirsty but I learned that as the body shuts down you don’t want food or drink. I kept making sure mom took little sips of water and bites of food if she wanted it. Did everything I could to make her peaceful and comfortable. A nurse came by a few times a week to help. I think the best thing you can do is let her spend her final days with her dog and with you holding her hand. I’m praying for you.

My uncle got to die at home, he passed away with his pet rabbit on his belly and his wife and kids at hand. So by all means let the dog come in and let her feed it.
