Question Drying off ?

Okay so we've cut prettygirl back to one milking a day for almost 2wks as to dry her off. She still gives a little over a qt in the morning's not milking her out completely. We didn't milk her this morning..
She looks MISERABLE. Should I just let it go or milk her out a touch.
I know the more I milk - the more she'll continue to produce.
What would you do?

so if you skipped the am milking, milk once in the afternoon and then see if you can skip tommorrow.... just keep spacing out the intervals....
