I just cant believe how quickly this has progressed and how much he has gone down mentally in only a few weeks. He still eats and drinks good but then he wanders around and stare off into space. If the Dr. says in her opinion that it should be done soon, then I guess I will, but will always second guess myself about whether or not I did the right thing. I talked to his previous owner and let her know and will give her some of his ashes. I have some ashes from another dog she had that I used to take care of and called him my adopted dog child. When he had to be put down it was as devistating to me as it was to her. When she had to give up Cosmo, she asked me first. Hes been a pain in the kester, but hes also been alot of fun. Yeah its hard, but things like this aint easy.

I am so sorry about Cosmo. I know how hard it is to do the right thing, but why does it have to feel so wrong. So many of my animals have died in my arms. It is harder on me, but I wanted them to feel comforted and loved. You have my deepest sympathy. We are here for you.

Gosh... So sorry you have to do this/go through this again so soon after the last loss. :hit Yeah, even the PITA pets are a bigger pain in the heart when we have to say goodbye. Knowing that you gave him the best life possible, let him go on, and know he'll be waiting for you to join him, along with all the others, at the end of your path. :hugs

Yesterday Cosmo went to puppy heaven. I had been debating all day whether or not to go ahead and do it or wait til after the weekend. But then I noticed that the side of his face looked odd. The left side where there was a tumor had gone from the size of a small marble to the size of a jaw breaker in just two days. It also felt like it was spreading up the jaw. I was shocked. So I took him up front to the vet and showed her and we discussed the possibility he would probably collapse over the weekend with how fast the tumors had grown, so decided to do what was best for him and ended his suffering. He had seemed restless and more disoriented the past couple weeks and the Dr. also felt, and me too, it had gone into his brain. Its kinda quiet around here now. Im going to miss him. I liked to make him sing, played tug of war, watch him in vain try to catch my other dog when she ran way faster than he did, playing "feets" with his paws. Now he is with all my other pets Ive lost in the past three years. RIP Cosmo.
