Dealing with a hard decision

**PinkPilot** · 10-17-2007, 03:28 PM

Boy, I bet that's one little Bull who got a lot of kisses tonight! I'm so happy things turned out this way for you and your family, sandra. And, of course, for Bull....who is exactly where we all wanted him to be.

Jackpot has been on Science Diet W/D for a long time, which is a special diet for intestinal issues. I'm guessing you probably have to watch protein percentages. For the occasional treat, there are a lot more "wholesome" brands these days than there ever used to be. They'll adjust fine!! Just enjoy your little boy......

Tired but happy to be home.

Oh, Sandra, I am so happy you made the choice to keep Bull. What happens next week will happen. Bull needed to be home, with you. I can understand the finances because it was a struggle for me to keep Kallie going as long as I did. I did have a few more months with her and it meant a lot. Having to make that decision was not easy, but I knew, then that it had to be made. Bull needs to rest and the opportunity to sit in your lap again, wagging his tail in contentment.

Oh, sweet Bull!

How is Bull this week- recovered ok from his surgery?

**sandra** · 10-22-2007, 04:09 PM

Thank you for asking. He seems to be feeling much better today. Yesterday was his last day of pain meds. He gets his stitches out on Wednesday.

Bull wants to know if you think his leg looks funny.

He is mad and embarrassed!

I've been thinking about Bull all weekend. While he doesn't look quite as chipper as he did in the photos behind your new bike (before the surgery), I think he looks pretty darned GOOD!!

Thanks for sharing an update and an upload with us, sandra!! Kisses to Bull and Cujo!

Tell him that his TE friends are used to guys with shaved legs.

So glad to hear he's doing well!

Ha ha, that's awesome!

My cat was pretty mortified about the leg-shaving too.

I'm so happy to hear (and see) that Bull is doing well.

I have been reading this thread and now i will comment!
I am glad you followed your heart! i had a cat who had been with us for 18 years and she started to have kidney failure. We have no kids or added debt so paying for her care was not a big thing but because of her age I could not put her through what they wanted to do to her to keep her alive. And it was only going to work for about a month and she would get bad again. That was easy for us to make the call. But hard at the same time. I was not going to put her through all that to keep her alive for me. And i don't look back on it now and regret it. Oh one thing i do regret was I should have brought her home for one more night but the thought of it at the time was painful. Knowing she was going to die the next day would just ruin me!

Sandra, it looks like he just needs to pull his sock up

Glad to hear he's on the mend and home where he belongs.

Ohhhhhh Bull!!!! What a sweetheart. I stumbled across this thread tonight and read through the whole thing. What an ordeal you've been through! Thank goodness he is better... albeit a little humiliated with the leg thing.

(((((((((((((((((((Hugs to you, Bull and your entire family!!)))))))))))))))))))))))

My Heidi says "it will grow". My poor little girl has had her leg shaved 4 times in her short life and is mortified everytime. She actually seems to try to hide her shaved leg! And to add insult to it all, she licks her wounds so she has to wear the cone collar.

Those arm warmers never stay up.

My mom always said, "You know the difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut?....two weeks."
