You two have had a good life together - just being there with her is giving her comfort. It says a lot when she dragged herself into your room to be near you. Let's hope for a miracle and if not, my heart goes out to you.
So sorry for you both. Just as a note for reference, my vet places a well-worn quilt on the table (or floor for large dogs), to lay the pet somewhere comfortable for the last moments. I have held almost every "paw" at many a passing and it was always peaceful. They let you stay there as long as you like, before they take away your pet.
I do one even better, Nancy. I hold my baby in blankets in my arms and I will not even allow the techs to take her out of my arms, even to shave the arm for the injection. I sing. I cuddle. I hold my baby's head to my heart. And she knows she is loved..........
But, if you decide to allow Gracie to pass at home, if it is an easy passing, her experience will be beautiful.
.....And this I say very quietly, Nancy......I had a NDE and to this day, I can honestly say it was the MOST beautiful, loving, peaceful experience of my life, and I did NOT want to come back!
Follow your intuition as to what Gracie wants. IF you need to take her to the vet, do NOT allow her to be taken out of your arms! She is YOUR baby!!!!
Peace, Nancy! May the presence of angels be felt. God be with you!!! (((HUGS)))

I read this & my heart bleeds. I hope God Blesses you & Gracie during this time. Please understand we ALL care for you & will continue praying for Gracie & you to reunite someday.
Please realize Rainbow Bridge is so very true for all our loved furry babies.
Oh, Nancy, I am so very sorry. Just as movintime said, I also hope that someday you and Gracie are reunited. In fact, I just know you will be.
My deepest condolences. My prayers along with all my furkids are being said for you. Oh, this is so hard, and my heart just hurts all over the place for your loss.
I am at loss of words in situations like this. My deepest condolences.
Gracie went peacefully and at home, surrounded by the person she loves most, I also hope to go like that some day.
And she was ill only for a very short time.
Also something I can only hope and pray for.
I hope the two of you had some peaceful, close, and loving last moments, both of you are in my thoughts and prayers tonight.
Thank you all. Gracie passed away very peacefully this morning. I know that she is no longer in any pain.
But, the memory of how she dragged herself from her bed to lie in my room only two nights ago is so haunting that I don't think I will ever forget it.
I think she was saying Good-Bye and also, that she came for comfort's sake: to give it and receive it. At least this is my feeling on it. I pray that in time you will see it as a comforting gift.
I'm so sorry, Nancy, I know it's a difficult time right now.
I'm sorry for your loss, but she's now playing at the Rainbow Bridge.
