Sandy just keep us in your thoughts and prayers
really. Met is shutting down in every way. He used to
always go to the appropriate door to bark a tad
letting me know who was coming and going and now he
has diminished to very seldomly barking at all but
only doing it from wherever he has put himself. He has
bowls of water near each crate and uses them when he
needs a bit of water rather than coming out here. I
gave him permission last night to let go and not be my
guardian angel here and he has shown me today that he
is doing just that.
I honestly can't help but wonder if his food was
partially behind this after something I learned today.
I will never know and that will probably haunt me for
some time but Met has fought so hard and so valiantly
through some ordeals in his life, but even I can see
now that this is one he is not coming back from. It is
devastating but I have to think about what he needs. I
so hoped he would just die on his own but we all know
how seldomly that one happens especially when the dog
has a good heart physically. If you saw him you too
would be crying. If I had been ready in my heart- not
just my head, I probably would have done it today...
Its horrendous... no dog will ever be what Met has
been to me, not ever....
