I think I have to make a decision soon. I alternate between feeling really sad and being angry at Gertie for making me feel this way. Sometimes I yell her to eat, please just eat something. She just looks at me - why are you yelling at me? So I scratch her between her ears and tell her I love her and everything will be ok even though it won't.
I'm so sorry for you - and poor old Gert.

Ay, poor thing. I am so sorry. I can see all the history and love and caring between the both of you in your drawing. Wistful and sad, but beautiful.

Take care of you both:0)

Thank you for your kind thoughts. After going through this 2x in the last 4 years, I'm determined Gertie won't suffer. I'd rather end her life the day before then the day after any pain.
