I will be okay with it as long as he doesn’t suffer. If I can get that worry soothed I can deal with losing him.

Right now after his awful night on Sunday he’s back to his old self. Sharing frozen mango chunks with me, coming up for a hug, asking for a piece of my dinner.

The way he is right now it would be hard to put him down. On the other hand I don’t want to leave it until he’s in pain.

Just a tough decision.
