12. That's actually a good thing

At least as far as how "good" such a situation can be. Now you have a few more days at least to ponder what to do and when to do it so you at least won't be in the position of having to make a snap decision... gads, I can't imagine having to do that with a situation like this. I was fortunate in losing both my previous dogs that I had a lot of time to know it was coming, decide when the time was right, and spend as much time with them that I could.

As my saintly vet advised me... treat every day, every moment, you have left with your beloved pet as a gift and rejoice that you were able to have that one more day, or two more days, or however much time is left and that you made the most of it. He's a very very wise man.

If you feel you can, keep us posted on what's happening or how you're feeling. We're all right there with you.
