Sorry I did not post before. I know too well how hard this decision is.

If I only could I would keep my pets with me forever, but I can't bear to see them suffer. When they are in pain, keeping them longer with me would be just for myself and I would not do them any favours. My cat Gigio was so frail the last few days it broke my heart to see him like that. I believe that sometimes they stay longer just for the love they feel for us. I am convinved that one of my pets was hanging on her last few days because we were not able to let her go, then one day we noticed how hard it was on her, told her that she could go if she wanted to, she died peacefully less than an hour after that. I know it's so hard, gosh I'm crying now...
