Hang in there, we'r ehere for you hun...

No words I have will soothe but know you all are in my heart.

You both fought the good fight.
RIP Raven.



BE MY VALENTINE

It has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. The good thing is, that he doesn't have to suffer, like some people do, since they don't allow euthanasia for humans.

It sounds like you are doing the right thing but I know it is so hard. I wish I was there to give you a big hug, but I am sending you a cyber hug and will be thinking about you.

Today was actually a good day. I didn't know this morning woudl be our last. He got his appetite back and gobbled his food and chewed his bone and went on a car ride on errands to town. Barked at the other dogs in traffic. But when I got home, he was wobbly. He laid down and couldn't get up. Mom and I had to carry him into the house. I called in sick to work this evening and called the vet. It's been several hours waiting for him to call back and Raven is actually feeling fine, in good spirits. Mom walked in to check on us and he wanted to get up but couldn't, so he laid on his side and wagged his little stubby nub like crazy. So cute, but so sad. The vet said it's probably spinal mets now and he will continue to go downhill. We could give him something for inflamation of the spinal tumor to get a couple days of coordination back, but it'll grow. It's time. He's on his way. I have been praying to God for the last few months, asking Him to not let Raven ever suffer. Yet, I couldn't bring myself to put him to sleep when he's feeling good. So, it was a catch-22. Was I waiting for him to be suffering so that I could go through with it? But God answered my prayer tonight. Raven is not in pain and actually rolled over for a belly rug and rubbed his face on the floor while groaning happily a few minutes ago. But he cannot get up. He'll be incontinent tonight if I don't do this. I know that it's time, but I didn't have to wait for him to be in pain or sick. Thank you God for this.
