My neighbor is on this same roller coaster with her elderly Lucky boy. When I got home from the boat this last time, she called me crying, telling me how sick he was and saying Friday, they were going to have to put him to sleep so if I wanted to come say Good Bye to him, now was the time. I went over to bid him my farewells and love him while I could but I saw something in him she didn't.. I told her he wasn't ready to go to RB, he still had a lot of spark in his eyes... and he did! He hadn't eaten in days though and if he hadn't eaten by Friday he would be critical and there was probably nothing more they could do.

Thursday, she called me all excited, he had eaten a little. Friday he had eaten more and he is still eating. I don't know if you know what I mean when I talk about that "spark" in their eyes.. but it is something I can usually see. After my step Dad died, Mama lost the spark in her eyes for a long time but she eventually got it back. Just watch for the spark in his eyes, that will tell you when it is time to let him go.

Ash has good taste in chicken! KFC is the best chicken in the world! I'd come eat some with him if I could.. LOL!
