    My heart breaks for both of you in reading your post about Fluffy, I too have had to make that decision that we all never want to ever have to make, but in the end my husband and I knew it was the right thing to do, sure we questioned everything, ourselves, the dr, even Ginger when she herself was showing us that it was time for her. We never wanted to let her go, she was all I had left from my cockers that I had had for 14yrs, but trust me, she will forever thank you and tim for putting her at rest and letting her have peace. In more ways than you know she is showing you that it is time, you have to accept it and do what needs to be done. I know this is the most horrific heart breaking decision, but be strong for her. my prayers and my thoughts will be with all of you, God bless you and give you peace of mind.
    hugs to you.

    Bunny, I'm so sorry to hear this sad news about Fluffy. Like others have already said, he will let you know when its time. My Pepper let me know that he had enough and I wasn't about to sit back and watch him suffer any more so I had to have him put to sleep. I know it's a very hard thing to do but it's even harder to watch an animal suffer. You and your family will continue to remain in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

    I am sorry to hear about Fluffy. But everybody is right. That is the best gift you can give your pet, helping him find his way "home" to the Rainbow Bridge where he will have no more pain. Stay strong even though it is very hard to do so. Remember, we at PT are here for you.

    I have been where you are and I feel your pain. Take comfort in knowing that you are not alone in this decision. Look into your heart and into Fluffy's eyes. They will tell you what to do.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    I am so sorry to hear this. Bunny, you DO know what to do, you just have not come to peace with it yet. I have gone through it several times. It is never easy.

    Prayers for you to find peace and for Fluffy to be painfree until the end.

    Oh Bunny, I know exactly how you feel. It is a difficult decision and you will always second guess it ... but it has to be made. I send you my love and many hugs!!!

    I'm so sorry to hear about this. We've all been there and know how difficult it is to let go. Try telling yourself that it isn't about you right now, it's about Fluffy and his quality of life. And most importantly, you don't want him to suffer. He's been good to you and vice versa. And if you have to do this last act of kindness for him, then you'll be strong enough to do it because we here at PT will be sending you the strength you need. Hang on to your strength but, if the time is here, let go of Fluffy. He won't hold it against you and he'll be so much better off. Hugs to you and Fluffy.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    It's never easy to let go and say goodbye. You will know when you need to do this. I feel for you, Tim and Fluffy. I'm very near if you need anything.
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    I have to agree with everyone here. Making that decision is the hardest thing to have to do. My prays are with you and Fluffy.

    Hoping that Fluffy is feeling better today. Are the appetite pills working? As long as he is resting and is peaceful, as someone else here said, you can be pretty sure he is still comfy. Gentle hugs to Fluffy, and big ones to you and Tim. My thoughts are with you guys...

    Thank you everyone very much.


    This is a very hard time on all of us. Even Yoshi & Lucky are very mellow today. Fluffy has this 'smell' on him, and I think we all know what that is.

    Today is worse than yesterday......he is eating some, but not nearly enough. He isn't drinking either. He has a new problem today - like he needs something else . His hind legs are not working. He will struggle to get up, move a few feet then plop down. His front paws go outward, too. I don't know if his arthritis is acting up, or he just doesn't have any more strength left in him to move
    Then a few minutes later I walk around looking for him and there he is - jumped up on the kitchen chair HOW did he do that??!! When he got off the chair he just ploped down and stayed there for a while, he also howled when he got down - I think he might have hurt himself.

    This is so hard, one minute he is moving around (just barely) and the next he is passed out sleeping in a very strange position - like he just got up on the bed, and that was all he could do. When he sleeps it is VERY soundly.

    He seems to be sending me mixed messages - or maybe I'm just not getting them correctly, I still don't know what to do. Maybe I am just too selfish and keep thinking he will get better, he is just having a bad day today.

    I'm struggling with taking him in today........for the last time.

    Oh...my heart goes out to you. Please take care. I am sending you & Fluffy a cyber hug. You will know when it is time. Fluffy will communicate somehow to you, and you'll just know.
    I love Fenway, JoJo, Olivia and Nonnie!
