I had to make the difficult decision to let my baby Chipper go last year. He had bladder cancer and I knew he only had a couple months left. I asked the vet how will I know when it's time and he said you'll know. One day Chipper was relatively active and healthy and the next day he was sprawled out on the floor, tummy down, head down, ears layed down and back, legs out to the side and his eyes just watched me. He never lifted his head and didn't sleep, just stared at me. His eyes were so sad. I just knew the time had come to say good-bye.
