> I’m sorry to hear it. I’m in the same place now with my aging doberman, grace. She has congestive heart failure. I’ve kept her going for about 6 months, but time is fast running out for her. She’s skin and bones and it’s now almost impossible to get her to eat. She’s not in pain, and she still gets up and goes out with the other dogs, but her time is measured in days now.

Thank you, StG. I wish the best for you and your pet in whatever time you have left together.

I had Calypso euthanized early Tuesday evening at the vet office, and stayed with her, as did a friend mentioned above.

I was very sick Wednesday, so we had the burial in my friend’s backyard, mid-afternoon Thursday.

_Life goes on._ Tonight I will be volunteering for an organiaztion that helped me line up local financial help. 🙂
