You and Richie are fabulous pet parents, always trying to do what is best for both of your doggies, even with all of the other earthly challenges you both face. Be assured Spike knows you love him, and when the time comes to say goodbye, I am sure he will know you are still loving him by helping him be shed of his suffering. I have four darling cats, and two of them are beginning to get up in age, and I dread the day when I will have to say goodbye to them, but that is the circle of life, and we accept it, and hopefully move on. Please know I am thinking about you both and Spike and Marleen too, and praying for all of you to find the peace that passes all understanding as you go through this difficult time. <br /><br />All my love,<br /><br />Kristen (SoulSoprano) <3soulsopranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17200008646124419334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35510962.post-54289293806132305152010-11-20T01:04:05.212+01:002010-11-20T01:04:05.212+01:00Herrad and Ritchie,

For Tim & I, we knew years ago we didn't want kids to begin with, which was a blessing given my MS & his Juvenile Diabetes. So throughout our 23 years of marriage we have had a "fur family", it is so emotional & sad when any of them are sick, even worse if we know we have to let them go if their quality of life is compromised due to illness or age. I know you will do what's right & out of love for Spike. I hope you & Richie will be able to have a meaningful weekend enjoying every moment that you can with Spike & taking care of your health also. <br />I'm thinking of you, hugs,<br /> much love,<br /> Megcatlover1968https://www.blogger.com/profile/10595184650278948665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35510962.post-49893359011421277502010-11-19T21:18:51.774+01:002010-11-19T21:18:51.774+01:00I am so sorry Herrad and Richie.
