After talking with Dr. Ford one more time I will be taking him in a little while to say good bye and send him on his journey to Rainbow Bridge.
Otis and I were exactly where you and Charlie are a couple weeks ago. I couldn't see putting him through major surgery, adapting to 3 legs and chemo for a couple months of declining quality of life. I made the same decision and I'm confident it was the right one.
That doesn't make it any easier.

Richard: I am so sorry about Charlie, but I am happy that he got to know someone like you. At least he enjoyed the last few months of his life. Old Fella could have had a similar fate - but he lived longer than anyone thought. Now Charlie can update Old Fella and Levi on you and Sue.
Several years ago, we took in a cat who was on her last legs - wasn't eating and was so skinny you could count her ribs. We had no idea how old, or young, she was. I felt that she should have some comfort if these were to be her last days. She slept on the couch (okay I spoiled her) and I hand fed her for about a week. Gradually she started getting herself off the couch once a day to eat, not much at first, then it became more frequent. She got stronger and we had her 10 years! She was in constant purr mode. One time the vet could not even listen to her heart because of the purring. She slept at my head (like a hat) every night. During our travels one winter, she let us know that it was time and we sent her to Rainbow Bridge. It was sad, but I knew we had given her a good life and she had enjoyed it.
You gave Charlie the good life for the short time you had him - and he enjoyed it and thanked you for it. Thank you for being the person you are and thank Sue for letting you be you.
Thanks for listening.
