We kinda went thru this with Jac-Fooy. DH REFUSED to let the vet take her leg. Thinking that there was no way that she would have a life as a tri-pod. After much fighting, ranting, crying, and lots of information, he came to his senses!! That is HIS BABY!! I hope you can get him behind you...it would be a heck of a thing to have to do it alone. I just can't imagine!
