Thank you for your kind words of comfort my dear friend, i made a decision when he was diagnosed, that i would provide him with the best care and comfort to the end, and that meant affording his medication every month, which i knew would prolong his life and make him more comfortable, however i did decide then and there that i would not prolong his life to the point he was miserable or suffering.

So far he is not in the category in my opinion, there is still plenty of life and spark in the old boy yet, he still will run up the stairs and tree and play on the stairwell from time to time, it is just when he has a bad day of not eating i worry, but i also know that you have to take each day as it comes, and that tomorrow he might have picked up and be a much happier boy,he is just a bag of bones now, he used to be such a big strong large hefty boy, it is sad to see his decline, sure he needed to loose a few pounds in those days, but now he needs to gain some or at least maintain.

I am sure it is far from his time yet David, but yes when the time comes,it is going to be the hardest thing in the world for me to do, but i also know my Ash has had a wonderful life with us,and has brought us pleasure and joy in our lives, even if he is a mr grumpy puss, we still love him to bits.

Again thanks for your thoughts ,they mean a lot to me, especially when i am worrying about him,as i am right now.
