Thank you MdngtRain and gayleggg for your comments. I think my mother is often overwhelmed. She survived a lot of severe abuse and neglect in her childhood which means she thinks it's okay to be cruel to me because I did not have to "suffer" like she did.
I told my sister who lives a thousand miles away what our mother said and she was very angry about it. She said if our mother did put my dog to sleep that we should completely cut her off. She also said that she doesn't think our mother would actually put the dog to sleep, but that she was trying to assert control over me when she felt she was losing control because of the overwhelming information we were receiving.
I often feel like my mother is always trying to sabotage what small scraps of peace I manage to conjure for myself.
