Batmom Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I think that is all he is enjoying anymore. All he does is go out pee and wander around the yard for a while. And then we lay on the couch or on his dog bed. I think that he is just tired. I am not sure how much more I should ask of him. It has been a tough day. Sending hugs for you and gentle snuggles for your boy. My heart goes out to you.

greysandmollie Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 (edited) Well, Bounty had me up at 3AM and breathing seemed to be a bit more labored and his cough a little more persistent. So I make the difficult decision to take him to the ER and let him go. Well I get there and can't get out of the car. He seemed so happy in the car, hanging his head out the window and the coughing wasn't happening. So I turn around to go home and then he pukes a bunch of very ugly stuff. So I turn around and go back to the ER. The ER doc is this young guy and he was so incredibly nice. We talked about quality of life and when he was ready and when I was ready. He thinks Bounty is about there but is not stressed at this point. We talked about not waiting too long and I asked what options we have left for comfort. He offered a drug that they use with chemo patients for the nausea and fluids as he was a bit dehydrated. So we left and are home now. I am going to work from home today and enjoy what we have left. This may be our last day together but I am so happy I brought him home this morning. I think he looked happier in the car with his head hanging out the window than I have seen him for a while. I guess every decision has a purpose.
