.....Cooper had another seizure and lost control of all his limbs. I called our vet after hours and asked if they did in home euthanasia. They said yes..do I want it today? I was only inquiring but so many things went through my mind...and when i remembered how scared he looked the last hour when he fell and we both had to yank on him to get him up...I said Yes.

Hubby and I havent quit crying. 14 years is like losing a child ..he was our fur son.

thank you for the thoughts everyone..it means a lot.
