My in laws had 2 shelties. Rockie and Peaches.

Both were kinda long in the tooth.

Peaches was my FIL's cause Rockie did not like men.

Peach had been going down hill for some time with congestive heart and respiratory issues.

Passover dinner, the whole family is there, cousins, uncles, aunts, grandma's.

Peaches is under FIL's chair wheezing away.

Middle of dinner my FIL pushes the chair back, gets up, says to his wife, "that's it, it's time. let's go"

They grab the dog and leave.

It got real quiet for the rest of the night.

When it's time, it's time.

You'll know.
