I don't know what to say. I'm literally in tears as I write this. I'm so sorry, whateverist. They bring us so much joy, and in the end, tears.

Yeah, whateverist, I know the drill all too well. My Norweigan Elghund is going to go soon I am sure. She's 15 but still doing OK despite being nearly deaf and blind.

Looks like you're making Fletcher's last bit of time comfortable and pleasant. I'm sure he appreciates it.

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.

Yeah. When a dog won't eat bacon it's time to say goodbye.

Actually this would be a good test for my kids to use with me one day. When daddy won't eat some bacon you offer him just put the old boy down.
