Guys,
Thank you so much for the thoughts and kind words. You guys brought me to tears with your replies.
I don't post as much as I always have ( don't have a computer in front of me at work anymore like i used to,...) but always considered this place almost like a second home with a great group of friends. Thank you for that.
I've lost pets before, old age and sickness, but this one is a tough one to handle. I guess because it was unexpected, with no chance of helping him to cure his illness, and not knowing when his final day will be.

You already know this but I will say it anyway - your focus right now and through his final breath should be 100% Syd's comfort.
I posted here in March when I had to take Billabong to the overnight emergency vet to be put asleep due to lymphoma. She was never in pain - and to this day as hard as it was to make that excruciating decision - I felt I did the right thing - and that brings me peace....as it will you.
You know how to reach me if I can be of any help. Much love to you and your buddy......Baz and Winkipop |
Baz, thank you Brother. We still really haven't gotten over losing Toby. We fought so hard to help him and he was still a pup basically. It will be 9 yrs Nov 20th

Pat, I hadn't looked it it that way. Thank you for that insight. Really appreciate it, and will definitely take your advice.
Thank you again guys.
