3. It is a very sad and difficult decision

Tuesday

Hubby and I prolonged our snootchie's life for months with water therapy and laser therapy. We finally had to decide whether we were prolonging her pain because it was too difficult to let go. That was almost ten years ago and I still miss her.

My heart goes out to you in this very painful time.
Hubby made this vid of Snootchie Bootchies and Randall when Randall was a just a puppy in 2006. We lost Randall last year. He is now jumping in piles of leaves with his sis.
