[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 536199, member: 65"] Lisa.... many hugs. We just went through this with Annie on Monday. My heart goes out to you. It's a brutal decision, one that has you second guessing yourself over and over. Mason was having failure to thrive (losing weight no matter how much he ate). We didn't want to end his life. He was still wagging is tail. He was still coming to get petted. He seemed to still be "Okay". But the loss of weight finally led to seisures. Some very painful ones too. So, when Annie was having failure to thrive, we watched her. She didn't like to move much so she'd lay out in the rain until we made her come in. She still wagged her tail, she still ate, she was still so dang happy to see us. But we didn't want her to suffer like Mason. If you do come to that decision, have sister in law go with you and be the one to carry you out. Being there for your loved one is a wonderful gift to them. Annie left us while her head was in husband's lap. Steph and I were on each side and all the other fur babies were around her too. Didn't mean to make this about me. Just wanted to let you know that I understand. It took husband and I two months to finally decide that enough was enough. You and Molly are in my prayers and in my heart. [/QUOTE]
