Thanks everyone for your input. It was nice to hear other people's opinions. I'll keep you posted.
I'm glad to hear Big Kitty is doing better now. My oldest dog, Harley (a 15-yr-old pomeranian) is having problems with incontinence as well as other age-related issues, but he's still happy and enjoys his life, so we're enjoying each and every day we have left with him. I personally believe euthanasia is a gift we can give our beloved pets if they don't die a peaceful natural death. When they're in so much pain that there's no pleasure left in life, it's the last gift of love we can give them. We had to have our oldest dog, Rocky, put to sleep last year and it was no easy decision, but we did it for his sake, not ours. The vet came to our house and he was surrounded by everyone who loved him. I wish I could have that choice when the time comes!

Big hugs to Big Kitty and you!
