Dear Slick, always worrying more about others.....but it's your turn now, sweetie. You and Max are just as important here on PT as anyone else is, if not more so, so just accept the thoughts, prayers and candles. You both deserve them....and more.

It's hard to hear Max is still declining, but I'm SO glad he has started snuggling on your lap again. I'm sure that is very therapeutic for both of you.

What I did for Tubby in his last few days was put a heating pad down, but I put a blanket directly on top of it, then his little fleece "carpet condom" on top of the blanket. That way I know he couldn't be burned by the heat of the heating pad. He loved that spot and spent 90% of his last month right there.

I hope the meds help ease his arthritis. I know you will make him as comfortable as you possibly can, and we all know you would do whatever you possibly can for him, so don't beat yourself up and feel guilty, just love him, love him, love him and love him. He knows.....

{{{hugs}}}
