thank you for your answer. it's a big help. truly, i am in anguish at the moment thus confused to make a decision. your reply provided me with rational/practical insight.
I wish you the best in using your own rational, practical and loving insights in following whatever you need to do. I hope your vet can truly guide you in your thought process about everything that needs to be discussed and thought about.
Here is a link to a site that has the most wonderful poem I've read about pets. I go to it every time I have to make "the difficult decision"...before and after. Please try to go to this site and read The Rainbow Bridge Poem. It might help you deal with your anguish. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Again, I wish you the best and would very much like to hear from you if you need someone to talk to about, well, whatever. Please don't hesitate to contact me via e-mail if you'd like: soysusana@verizon.net. I really do care and I'm thinking about you and your dog. [ susana's advice column | Ask susana A Question ]
