I suppose I am defining the dying process in an ordinary, practical way: The trend of one day being less-than or more miserable-than the previous day, and where attempts at fixing that fail. Maxy liked going to the vet. She was prone to getting into to trouble and had her share of injuries. Going to the vet was more people to see and (I think) meant to her an expected relief from pain.
