You are in the home stretch! Good luck with your closing. Don't let them bully you in to signing if you aren't comfortable with their resolution to the inconsistancies. If they need to fix the language, escrow, appraisal double-charge - then make them fix it. There is no legal basis to charge you twice. Bring proof of payment with you and they will shut up.
Just think, when this is all done, you and the kids can go and relax in your new home and start making new memories together.
Sorry about your pup - but if she is in pain she needs you to do the humane thing. Celebrate her life with you and don't prolong her death any more. She would thank you for that. I know it is hard to lose one of your best friends like that - I bawled when we put our last lab down.
Oh Pam, I am praying for you today - that all goes well this morning with your closing and that the pain your pup is feeling can be eased.
Take care...
