DD, I just feel so badly for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Hercules.
s I know this must be a horrible time for you, but you'll do what you have to do and what is best for Hercules and feel good about doing the right thing. It is so painful and I hope you both are not suffering too badly. All my love. Take good care and grateful were sober, for our animals if nothing eise.
I had a Doberman who was my soul mate and he told me when he was ready to go. It took me 10 years to get another dog. I did have my horses though, so at least I had something. It's a very hard thing to do and I send you courage and love.
Have a wonderful, sober day everyone. So grateful for this thread to remind me sobriety is something we always have to be vigilant of.
