We took her to the vet and when he described how her body was shutting down and what it feels like for them...the decision was made. May the journey ahead be buffered by long, furry cuddles, last beautiful photographs (such as the one above) and lots of fond memories. xJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13778238517713121621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21988256.post-49536147798049895702010-08-02T19:33:00.898+10:002010-08-02T19:33:00.898+10:00Hugs sweetie.

He did lose weight but he was still happy, just like you describe. The turning point was when he really was unable to keep himself clean. The morning before Dad was due to take him to his appointment, he wandered into the garden and went to sleep and didn't wake up. Our family was scattered all over the world and he was much mourned. I will be thinking of your family because I really do understand xxSuper Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493854657141470059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21988256.post-13710325396926846452010-08-02T15:54:45.300+10:002010-08-02T15:54:45.300+10:00It's time I'm afraid.

He knew he was ready and went under the neighbours' house to die. Broke my heart, but he <i>knew</i>. I doorknocked everyone trying to find his body so we could bury him but that never happened because he was under a house we didn't find him in time, so I guess he just chose his final resting place. I guess you have to decide whether you want family closure nice and tidy for the boys to deal with, or just let him find his own way out. Either is fine, if he's not in pain.Stomper Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038937073264645029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21988256.post-34928034885444552692010-08-02T13:40:51.835+10:002010-08-02T13:40:51.835+10:00It's a hard decision to make and even harder n...It's a hard decision to make and even harder not to.You'll know thr ight time in your heart.So sorry. <br />(hugs & tissues)♥.Trish.♥ Drumboyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13482654455512269065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21988256.post-71388628843703430692010-08-02T13:28:47.002+10:002010-08-02T13:28:47.002+10:00That is such a beautiful photograph.That is such a beautiful photograph.Ms Brown Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06128283343279442537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21988256.post-25435239728676110402010-08-02T13:28:16.789+10:002010-08-02T13:28:16.789+10:00It's so hard but I think if he's not eatin...It's so hard but I think if he's not eating anymore ... but if he's happy ... but ...
