TOUGH DECISION
His eyes roll up in its head
Feet unsteady, can hardly breath
due to impaired brain function.
if I wait a bit longer, he'll be dead.
So I took my chubby, waggle doggie
right to the Vet.
lamed body on a stretcher
to give solace 'again' like the old golden oldie.
Now I'm hopelessly waiting for the Vet,
I don't know what to do,
shall I let my ruff-ruff go
release him from agony.
I haven't made up my mind yet!
I looked his eyes were fading
I whispered in his ear:" Pluto, it hurts, but I have to let you go".
Then one blurry eye opened,
long tail waggling,
and tilted his head in mild gesticulation.
" my Pluto is back? "
Relieved, I brought him home with a ' 3-day cure '.
This morning he began to perk up,
My woof woof is back.
I'm glad I've made the right decision
Plenty of reasons to cheer me up.

Hey dear poet LEAH!.......My best friend had a dog named BECKY who died when she was 14......my friend didn't come back to school for two weeks....... only time I ever saw him cry....... people become incredibly attached to their dogs...... your write was amazingly moving..... but .....I didn't understand what the 3-day cure is?... so I guess I don't understand the entirety...... but I could feel how there were many tears involved here....... I'm so sorry LEAH!!..... wish I could give you a hug........ fistful-O-Stars ......I'll say a prayer my friend!!.....T xo. ♥♥♥
Hi Tony, I made the write shorter as I could ## I had to choose whether to let him sleep or take the 3day care --- a kind of medicine ## but, it's only a day ago and he's back Alive and kicking! This is actually his third chance!!! I procrastinate and procrastinate!
He's a fighter. He feels he's getting all the TLC,
Thank you for your care
3day cure!! I mean
Hello Leah...
I have thought about that when the time comes for my dog...
If there's anything I can do, I will...
Even if she's laying down, until I know for sure that she won't recover...
She's 14 1/2...
She and I have already talked about it and I promised her as long as I can keep her out pain should that time come, I promised that I wouldn't let her suffer...
Sometimes, we need time to see...
I'm glad your baby is doing better...
Thank you for sharing...
Hugs...

Hi Sparrowsong. According to the Vet. He wasn't in pain at all. That's what I wanted to hear #
I was about to let him go and waited for a couple of minutes # I called his name and he waggled # that gave me the hope ##
This is his third chance already!! He still has appetite to eat and play. The medicine is working..
Hugs
Leah
GREAT POEM LEAH

HI AGIN Leah after reading your poem agin I am glad your dog and you are doing well peace love to you and I will say prayer for you
Thank you Greg!!
I'm glad your doggie is doing great...I pray he gets stonger and live longer...We get so attached to pets (most especially dogs) that letting go even when we know we have to is usually a very hard decision...Nicely written Leah
Yes Rose, he is doing great now, thanks to the medicine ## he's like a kid to me ##
Thank you!!
Hi Leah I have two dogs i love them to pieces
I can understand your dilemma.We dont want them to suffer at all
I am so glad your little doggie is feeling better
A heartfelt write
Hugs and my best wishes to you Debs xx
Hi Debbie, really? that is lovely!! ### I am giving him another chance ## I can feel that he is not in pain ## I did the right decision just like last year####
Thank you!!
Hi Leah,
I feel your pain, for no one in history has ever loved their doggie more than do I. My precious Angel Nico was five months short of his fourteenth birthday, when we lost him two tears ago. I have posted dozens of poems about him on Cosmo, dealing with the eternal excruciating pain of his loss. I cry several times a day for that which was. My Nico walked on a Monday morning, and was gone by Monday night, passing away on his own in our living room. When that terrible time comes and you to let your Ruff Ruff go, and send him to Heaven, I have a suggestion which will make it easier on him. Several vets now come to the house for that final goodbye. It is a much more humane environment, for both of you. You can kiss him goodbye in the privacy of that which he loves the most, his home.
I have just posted a poem for him and you, titled "Dear Ruff Ruff, Please Stay Tuff Tuff. I have written it in your honor. May your final days together be filled with joy and love.
Peace and Love,
Larry xxx
Oh Larry. How very kind of you to do that!! how can I thank you ### I have given him three chances already. The first chance was three years ago ## look, he's still playing with us ## He gets all the TLC.. and that helps!!
Hugs and kisses
Leah
