I won't leave his side, I decided to take the next few days off of work so he won't be home alone. I don't think I could handle coming home and Rascal being gone before I got back... The tought alone makes me sick Thanks again McKinsey you are a doll

You will both be in my thoughts. At least he has lived his life with someone who cares very deeply about him.

Hang in there...
Thanks so much! Rascal has to be wondering why Im blubbering like a baby - I just can't seem to turn the tears off

But there have been a few times when I look at my dog (who is not quite 6) and think that her life is half over and then she'll be gone. And I get pretty teary-eyed just thinking about it, knowing it's a long way off. For many of us, our pets really are like best friends. Nevaeh has been with me through so much already and if nobody else is around, I always know that she's there to comfort me through the hard times.

Now it's your turn to comfort Rascal in his tough time, knowing his pain is almost over. I know it's cliche (and hard to do!) but it really is easier when you try to think of the good times instead of the loss in your life. And a good support system helps as well!
Thanks Mel!

Dogs are great...they all ways seem to know when you need them. If I had a bad day Rascal somehow just knew and would curl up in my lap and look up at me with his big brown eyes and my bad day always melted away Im trying so hard not to cry, but its not working...

You guys are the best...I feel the love

I got Rascal before I ever even thought of having kids I knew this day would come, but there is just no way to ever be prepared.

Thanks bunches Christie
