When I'm there, and after I get to see the little guy, I'll make the decision to stop his suffering for good while I'm there, or maybe I'll bring him back home for a couple of days, until I get up the nerve to stop the suffering. I'm afraid that's going to make it even harder to do what I think is best for the little guy. My problem is also, that I'm selfish~~~I don't want to give him up, I don't want him NOT to be here with us.
His prognosis isn't good, and no matter what, I don't think I'll ever have the same little buddy I had two months ago back again. I miss him like crazy, and the tough thing is, there is not one thing anyone can do to make me feel any better,,,,just time. This really sucks!!

I hear you, I know it is not easy making that decision. Do what is best for the little guy, as hard as it is. While it may be nice to have him around a few more days, it may not be what is best for you and him. Whatever you decide, I am very sorry, and wish there was something else that could be done. I know my time with Carlo is limited. Age will eventually claim him even if the cancer does come back. I already know I will not let the big guy suffer. I know that I will have done everything I could do for him.
