A quick update to the diary http://www.dailykos.com/... I wrote last night. His end was peaceful but traumatic for Mr. Piren and me. The people at the vet's office couldn't have been kinder. They put a pile of rugs on the floor as they knew Barkey hated the table. They booked the room for the rest of the day so we could be with him as long as we wanted. As we were walking out the door, I had to go back one more time to kiss him and tell him how much I loved him. Our vet, Nicole, was sitting on the floor petting him.
I am so grateful for your kind words and sharing your experiences. I'm sure that must have been hard. We at Kos snipe at each other, hiderate, argue, have differing opinons, but when a member of the community is hurting, you come through. Again, thank you.
