Thanks Debbie & Gini. (that's a smile through the sad face)

Debbie, I know it's just normal aging, and I knew this day would come, just like I know the day will come when his kidneys fail altogether. I also know he's led a good long life and instead of worrying I should treasure every day he's still with me. But knowing all that doesn't make it any easier.

Gini, yes, those doses come with a lot of loving....and treats! Which is why I know he'll be around for awhile yet. He's always there bright and early every morning waiting for his day treats....and medicine if it has to be. The day he doesn't eat his treats is the day I really start worrying.

Thanks again, and it's really to early to start asking for prayers, but if now and then you could just thow out a spare one that he goes peacefully when his time finally does come, I would greatly appreciate that.

Sara - Done!
