Dear Jack,
I'll never forgive myself for allowing my boy to suffer but I've struggled with wondering if he will be mad at me if I put him to sleep. I don't want him to think that I'm tired of having him around. He can't get comfortable and he cries and whimpers a lot. Sometimes he almost looks like he has tears in his eyes. He woke up this morning crying. He's forgetting where the food bowl is now. Last night he fell down the porch steps and hit his head on the sidewalk. I don’t know what to do.
It’s such a hard decision, the hardest, but put yourself in his paws and ask yourself What Do You Want? Put your hands on your heart and seek the truth, for it is there. What would you want if you were him?
I do not want to be the one to tell you this, but your boy is failing by the moment. You ask if it is selfish to help him cross Rainbow Bridge before he declines. He has declined since you said that. Please help him. Let him know that he can go on his own terms and reassure him that you will be okay. If you wake up tomorrow and he is not gone, you must call the vet. Please help him across the Bridge soon, one way or another. Bless you in this. Cherish every moment and make the most of every moment you have left.
It is a sacrifice for you. It's the final gift you’ll give to him.
Love, Jack
