Oh Maggie! So hard to do what you did. I had the same decision to make re a dog who had been with us 15 years. He was in pain and was not enjoying his life. I think I was more heartbroken then anyone when it came down to it and I had never wanted the dog.

Like everyone says here, your son will come around and understand that it is cruel to keep ailing pets alive, if you cannot ease the suffering. I agree that humans should be give the same consideration. I certainly don't want to linger.

Sorry I have no 'nergy to contribute more to others in this thread. Tam needs a spiritual and mental declut now. Utterly wiped out!

Hugs you all....
