[QUOTE="donna723, post: 267105, member: 1883"] Terry, I'm so sorry you had to make this decision. I know how hard it is. When you have pets, you run the risk of this happening, and it can be the most difficult but kindest, most loving and unselfish thing you have ever had to do. Five years ago (has it really been that long?) I agonized over this decision with my first Boston, Rudy. I raised her from a baby and she had been my constant companion through thirteen very difficult years, the dog that grew up with my kids. She was my baby. She survived cancer and heart disease and made it more than two years longer than her vet ever thought she would, but I could tell that she was just 'winding down' like a clock, getting weaker and weaker until I was carrying her down the steps to get outside. I hesitated because she didn't really appear to be in pain. She took the decision out of my hands one day by passing away peacefully in her sleep in her favorite chair. We will all be with you in spirit. Sending lots and lots of hugs, and please remember that you are not doing the [I]easiest[/I] thing, you are doing the [I]right [/I]thing, the [I]loving[/I] thing, for her. [/QUOTE]
