Thanks everyone!

I told the vet the other day that I didn't think we would be rescueing anymore because it always ends up w/ us having a broken heart!

I know that is a bad thing to say because it sounds like we are just thinking of ourselves, but it gets hard after awhile....I think it is worse w/ each one we have rescued that doesn't make it long.

But we aren't bad people...just can't stand another heartbreak again! --well, maybe not for awhile anyway!

I need to do some more research on the topic and see if there is any other things that we can do......we love him, but don't want to prolong his pain and suffering longer than needed....but if there were a cure that we would know that worked, that would be great!

The vet said even w/ the full hip replacement, he will still be in pain every now and then and get down sometimes where he can't move, etc. So, I am wondering why put him through that and spend that big amount of money, if it isn't going to save him from the pain??

Whew!!! It is such a hard thing to go through.....
