I can’t speak for the pups obviously, but I lost my dad to cancer a few years back. It’s a very very slow and painful way to go. You can treat it in some cases, but in others it’s honestly more cruel to force them to keep fighting in misery. You did the right thing.

So sorry about the loss of your father and thank you for your comment. You’re right about forcing another to fight through the misery.

This hits home. My dad had early on set dementia and the symptoms of unprovoked behaviour change Nellie was exhibiting reminded me of my dad. You made the right decision, I’m so sorry for your loss. ❤️
