We’re putting our dog down on Sunday and my sister wants to take her to the park even though she can barely walk

Our shih tzu is 14 and has cancer and has already had to have a leg amputated because of a tumor. She pants all the time and has trouble getting around at all. She hasn’t been able to go on walks in a long time. We had to make the painful decision of scheduling her for euthanasia on Sunday. My sister INSISTS we take her to the park the day before we put her down and I just don’t think that’s what she’d actually enjoy. She doesn’t like car rides which she’d be subjected to if we took her to the park and even when she gets there she can’t run around or really do much besides lay down which I think would be more comfortable for her at home? I’m already the bad guy who had to convince our family it was time to let her go and I know my sister will think I’m heartless for this. I just want to give our baby a great last day but I don’t think the park is a good idea. We also have another younger dog who is way too excitable and would make it even more difficult to go to the park (jumping on the older dog trying to play with her and all that). I don’t even know if I’m looking for tips because to be honest I don’t think my sister will budge on wanting to take her to the park. Just wanted to know if I’m being reasonable I guess.
