I'm sorry if all that has come to late & it may be his time to go to the bridge now, I know how hard this must be & feel so much for you.

Thanks cypher....I couldn't do it...and I'm glad I didn't. Poor baby he's going to die naturally. I decided that he will be less stressed dying in his own bed. Just like my husband did (cancer) he wanted to die at home and died peacefully in my arms. But it was painful to watch just like pip! Pips had a stroke...he's breathing hard and fast and is wobbly. But he's trying to eat and I've placed his cucumber and shallow dish of water by his bed.
I am not going to kill him because he's old..I would if he were young and savagely injured..or had terrible illness. I may be wrong..but he's just old..I'm making him as comfortable as I can. He's warm...he's home..he's eating..he's dying.
I'm not sure he'll make the night...but he's not stressed...just pottering around his home...
Just feeling upset a bit....
