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.              > Sadly, he became diabetic (quite common on older dogs), resistant to the       > insulin,                     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 :(              > I still follow "Crusoe, The Celebrity Dachshund" (search for that with       > your favorite search engine).
