It is just tricky to time the end so that he and I get all the good days we can without him dying freaked out and in distress. So far he just isn't eating but he is drinking some water. Today at the dog park I put some bacon and egg under his lip but he just dropped it. He can't quite stand on his own anymore. Frankly what he has now probably doesn't count as a 'good day' any longer. I'm thinking we probably will keep that Tuesday afternoon appointment.
It is both the cancer in his lung and his bad heart that are stopping him. We won't be doing any surgery on this old dog though. That doesn't seem like a good end to me.
