    Great article to read....

    Sometimes we do too much, expect too much, and put our beloved furkids thru too much, when clearly, the outcome is rarely positive. Yes, we do it because we love them and can't bear to let them go, but we are doing it more for ourselves, and not entirely for them as it should be. And yes - I was guilty of this in one case, and I promised myself and my furkids that it would never happen again. I still live with the fact that I couldn't see beyond my own selfish feelings - it hurts............

    Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

    I totally agree. I still remember how I put my RB Pepper through so many tests and the vet still couldn't find what was wrong with him. I finally just had to let him go so he could be at peace. It was very difficult but I know I made the right decision. Since then I've sworn to never put my animals through too much. I just want them to have the best quality of life that they can and when that's gone then I'll have to say goodbye.
