It's very difficult time for you and your family now. I had put my Maltese Ringo to sleep when he was 15 years old after 14 months fighting with diabetes and congestive heart failure and collasped trachea. The memory is still fresh like it just happened last week.<br />I'll keep praying for you and your family and especially for Max to be peaceful as much as possible, remember, you have us doggies and doggies' moms to support you through this hard and sad time.<br />Love y'allMango the Maltese kiddohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10487677218449132707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3063264504139992140.post-38179888327536381582010-05-23T15:05:22.134+02:002010-05-23T15:05:22.134+02:00Our mom says this is one of the hardest decisions ...Our mom says this is one of the hardest decisions she's ever had to make in her life...when to let a beloved pet go.

You are so right, you've had 105 days of grace to treasure Max like never before. I remember when my own dear Dad was dying of lung cancer almost nine years ago. The incredible woman from hospice told me that we needed to tell him it was okay to go, that Mom and I would alright. Dad had been in a deep sleep for a day and a half and as Mom and I left his hospital room for the evening, I told him if he needed to go on without us, that was okay. We could take care of each other. He passed away early the next morning. Max may also sense that your husband is not quite ready to let go. As it has been said so many times before, when the time is right, Max will let you know. <br /><br />My birthday was Thursday - please make tomorrow a joyful day, my almost twin across the ocean...<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />Jane and PeteyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00529559263104583300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3063264504139992140.post-6188715103432762962010-05-23T02:50:24.080+02:002010-05-23T02:50:24.080+02:00It is my prayerful hope that Max will take this de...It is my prayerful hope that Max will take this decision right out of your hands and go off in his sleep one night. I bet that is what he would like best. Whatever the decision may be, though, I wish you the very best in making it, just you and the Boss, or the two of you and your vet. Stay with him and let your scent be the last he sniffs as he goes off.<br /><br />Love and hugs,<br /><br />Jo and StellaStellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04890014621743537798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3063264504139992140.post-17925030712622325142010-05-23T02:21:57.624+02:002010-05-23T02:21:57.624+02:00Happy Birthday, Maxdog Mom!

(And yes! what a gift for our dear friend to just go to sleep. Which luckily happened to me when I had been talking to my vet at the time all day, that I may have to call him as Gloria(Brussels Griffon) was getting worse/ As I sat by her she breathed her last. Neither one is easy. I cannot say either is easy because the end result is the same.)<br />We live too long, and our dogs live too short. GOD spelled backward-DOG. Lessons, pure souls. If could take the pain from you I would Caryl. <br />My perameters are different from my sister's. It is sooo personal.<br />May he give you the gift of passing peacefully in his sleep. <br />I too do not think he is the not windmill, but the wind. Always present with you and your husband. He will live in your heart forever and yes pope, animals do have souls. One only has to look in their eyes.<br />God Bless you and keep you in this difficult time.<br />We love you, we pray for you and OH, how it hurts.<br />Have as happy birthday as you can and never forget he will always be with you.

She's been there before, more than once and it didn't get easier the second or third time. No one outside of the family and a trusted vet can really help, either.
