Hi guys, thanks for your posts.
I went into Barney's room this morning and he was as good as he's been for the past week, not worse. I know that as good as he is, isn't ideal but he is not declining any further. Because of this, I wasn't ready to do it tomorrow and thought Wednesday would be a better day. I called my work and arranged to have someone work for me that day and then called the clinic. But Robin, the vet doesn't have a space that day and doesn't work thursday so I will be taking him in on Friday. I'm just about to call and book the appointment for Friday afternoon. I will post with the time shortly afterward (so you can light your candle Sandra)
I will probably stop in to buy some more insulin today but wonder if it will make a huge difference if he doesn't get it on Wed, thurs and friday. I will ask the vet when I call.
It's just been an insane week as I'm also organizing the first feral cat meeting in our area and no one is helping me and it's been rather stressful. It is this weekend and along with Barney and a possible trip up north soon because Scott's mother is going in for surgery, it has been an awful stretch. As some of you said, it will be such a relief when this week is over. The lead up to it is the worst part. It always is and no matter how many times I go through this, that part never changes.
I know it's the right thing to do and I won't have regrets but taking him in tomorrow just wasn't sitting right with me. I just need a few more days with him and I'll be ready to say goodbye.
Thanks again everybody and I will post the time he will be going to the Bridge on Friday in a post in about half an hour.
