It's hard to face that things may be ending, although there is a certain comfort in having a plan. <BR/>There is a wonderfully touching article by Harlan Ellison, in The Harlan Ellison Hornbook, about his dog, Ahbhu. Makes me cry just thinking about it, such a sweet and melancholy story.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07490109332475074631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-59212783254655708162008-01-15T12:51:00.000-04:002008-01-15T12:51:00.000-04:00Good morning from blustery Calgary.

I doubt I got more than an hour of sleep ....sometime today I will just have to nap I guess. <BR/><BR/>I am so happy your friend has agreed to help if and when it is necessary. Now, you can just enjoy the good days and wait out the bad... and if things get too much for Jake, you will know what must be done. <BR/><BR/> It is all any of us can do...and in the long run? Believe me, it is so much easier and kinder with animals than it is waiting for our human loved ones to die with not nearly enough help at the end for most of them. We just get to sit by and wait because we are not allowed to end their suffering.<BR/><BR/>Several other countries are so much more humane about the end of life than we here in Canada.....BumbleVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272892605379537233noreply@blogger.com
