I am facing another one of the toughest decisions I have had to make. 2 months ago my 10 year old doberman, Caleb was diagnosed with bone cancer. We have tried many different things to see if we can save him but we are losing the battle. I do find comfort in the fact that he has lived an otherwise healthy and happy life for his 10 years. It is breaking my heart to see him. Even though he does not "say" anything I know he is in pain. But he is also still acting like a very happy puppy. However, he is clinging tomy side, trying to comfort me, I know. I cannot in good concious put him down while he is still making so much effort. I only hope I will know when the time is right. I am keeping a daily journal to see if his bad days outweigh his good. I had to put one of my horses down 3 years ago, that too was tough, but she was failing quickly, the choice was a lot easier to make. I am praying for the strength to know when the time is right.....
