Thank You Nadine I have a hard time I think because my max was only 7 1/2 and he was just so healthy up until a week before he got sick. That is why I still have all the what if's and did I make the decission to soon. I guess I will always have those feelings. I just know I could not let him suffer since cancer is such a painful desease. Removing his spleen would have been a major surgery also requiring blood tranfusions and was told that it was providing that the cancer had not spread. I have to believe in my heart that the Vet new what they were doing. I have to have faith that his dianoses was correct based on his ultra sound and blood work. But it still doesnt make it any easier on myself. Ending a life is a serious decision specially when he was so full of it a week prior. I pray that if it wasnt the right decision that my Angel forgives me. I love and miss him with every breath I take. Thank you for your kind words.

You made the right decision because you made it from a place of love. You didn't want your precious baby to suffer, what could be a bigger statement of love. I could have kept Bandit around, she was still eating, the was technically nothing 'wrong' with her, but I could look in her eyes and see her pain. She was needed to go, she didn't want to live in the state she was in. You have to believe the same. The love is so pure of a pet, so you have to know you did what you felt was in Max's best interest, not yours.
