Freddy, I can't wait to hear where, and with whom, your forever home will be. Wherever it is, you are one very loved pup. Your road trip looks like it was a lot of fun.
My heart just hurts for you. I remember when Hero came to you.
I don't know if it ever gets easier for any of us, but I do know we are better for having these angels in our lives.
Godspeed, Hero.
I echo the above. There are no right or wrong answers, just those made out of love.
Is there by any chance a homecare vet in your area who can work with your main vet to manage Padfoot's care at home? That way he can avoid any upset and worry about going to the vet's office.
I know that you are going to make him so happy and comfortable and spoiled. Know that we are all here for you.
