I have made the heart-wrenching decision to bring Buster in tomorrow (Friday) morning and cross him over to the Rainbow Bridge. He was bad last night and still not good this morning even after a lot of meds, duck soup, and TLC. He has lost a lot of weight and has lost control of his bowels. He won't play anymore, so I know it is time...

So sorry. Know what a hard decision it is but knowing when it is time and going thru with it always the right thing to do for both of you. Many hugs to you.

Big hugs to you, Barbie and gentle licks for Buster from Molly, too. We always know when it's the right time, but it will never get any easier no matter how many times we have to go through it. I can't help but think, when I am there, and the last breath is so easy and simple and relaxing and final and releasing and calming, that I so wish someone could do the same for me one day, when it's my 'time.'

I will be thinking of you making that loooooong trip to the vet's tomorrow, and will be sending good thoughts your way and the strength you will need to walk in there. You know it is the right thing to do, and so does Buster. His last vision will be of you helping him leave, and he will love you all the more for that hand.

((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))

Knowing you and Buster, personally, I know that you are a wonderful mommy ;) I know you know what is best for him and when it is "time". My prayers go out for you and Buster.
