   Hi Daryl!

   That must be a rough day for you, Daryl - thank you for taking the time to   
   reply to my message - it did help a lot reading about your dog(s) and your   
   wife.  Thank you for that distraction :)   
      
   It is so hard to deal with all this, knowing that it is the only way Sophie   
   can survive for the brief time she has left.

   That is what I am expecting to happen here sooner than later.  Most nights   
   after forcing some of the meds down her throat, I end up crying myself to   
   sleep - it is just too too painful right now to see her trusting eyes look at   
   me, and then I have to force these meds on her :(

   > your favorite search engine). He also has several videos on YouTube, with   
   > merchandise available for purchase.   
      
   I will :)   
      
   Take care and thank you again,   
   Janis
