When do we put our dog to sleep?

Asked by awomanscorned (11261points) November 13th, 2010 from iPhone

She’s 17. Gets really swollen with fluid and is on meds that constantly make her pee. It’s hard for her to walk around but she still wakes up every morning to patrol the yard and then goes up the stairs to sit on the deck and watch the yard. We’re getting worried about her quality of life though because sometimes she’s too tired and stiff to get herself ou of the cold. And sometimes doesn’t want to eat. Some days I think, today’s the day to take her in. Then an hour later I’ll see her walking to a patch of sun in the yard. I don’t want to find her dead in our yard or garage. I’d rather she die peacefully. When do I take her in?
