Lori, I have been directly involved with something like this exactly ONCE in my life and it was with my Kaycee. I have to admit that it took the vet and a very good friend for me to see that it was time. Kaycee lost a tremendous amount of weight and I was to the point where I was carrying her outside and carrying her inside. She couldn't manage the steps. Dr. Robinson suggested that Kaycee spend the night at his office so he could observe her and I could get a sense of how life was without her. She had bloody diarrhea during the night she spent at his office. He could not operate or sedate her as her heart was so bad. It gave me one night to fully digest what was going on, thanks to my friend, Mike, who was right there with me when we took her in. He was the one who had said to me, "Logan, she is very, very sick". I didn't get it on my own, but with the aid of my good friend, and my veterinarian, I knew it was time. I hope you will have the same insight when it is time for Disney.

You and I have talked about this before as I am dealing with much of same with Murphy, our Lab, who is 15 years old. She is confused, wets the floor, poops on the floor, eats like she has NEVER eaten before, is deaf and her eyes are going bad too, but she is still "happy". I must get a video of Murphy's food dance one day while I can. She is the happiest, hungriest dog you ever saw.

I have to tell you, Lori. You will know. Or people who love you and Disney, who surround you, will know, when it is time.

Hang in there and know that many of us are out here praying for Disney and thinking of you constantly. It is a hard, hard time.

Logan
