OT: Max is failing and will be euthanized this afternoon
Oh Lora, I am so sorry. I haven't been on the boards at all lately so don't know the whole story - but I do know that losing a pet is one of the most painful experiences we can have as humans. They ask so little from us, and love us no matter what we are going through or what mistakes we may make.
Take extra care of yourself tonight and for a while. You are such an encouragement here and I'm sure you are just an incredible person all around. I hate it when people have to hurt.
So sorry. I had to have my Shamoo put down over Thanksgiving - she was 15, had thyroid problems and went down hill very quickly. Having her put to sleep was the kindest thing I could do, but it does not ease the pain or loneliness. I am glad you have Gus - he will be a definite comfort!

Lora, I'm truly sorry to hear of your pain! You're making the kindest decision for him, and while that may be little solace right now, Max was blessed to have you in his life. My deepest sympathy and virtual hugs are for you - if you ever need to talk, I'm just a phone call or email away
