Hi Daryl!

That must be a rough day for you, Daryl - thank you for taking the time to
reply to my message - it did help a lot reading about your dog(s) and your
wife.  Thank you for that distraction :)

It is so hard to deal with all this, knowing that it is the only way Sophie
can survive for the brief time she has left.

That is what I am expecting to happen here sooner than later.  Most nights
after forcing some of the meds down her throat, I end up crying myself to
sleep - it is just too too painful right now to see her trusting eyes look at
me, and then I have to force these meds on her :(

I will :)

Take care and thank you again,
Janis
