I picked Alex up from the vet tonight. Dr. Ron is recommending euthanizing him. He said because of the quality of life he has (or the lack thereof), he doesn't think keeping Alex alive is helping him at all. He's paralyzed on the right side of his body, partially paralyzed on the left, blind, deaf and has the brain tumor. Sigh.... It's just so sad. This poor boy does not deserve this, but then again, no animal deserves to suffer.

I called the woman who runs our shelter, and she told me she'll leave it up to me to decide when the time is right. I really hate being the one in control of the decision, but I don't want to rush it either. I'm going to spend some quality time with him, and if I see he is suffering or in pain, then I'll make sure he gets to my own vet and he'll cross the bridge then. I just don't think the time is right now, but then, how do you know when the time is right???
