Okay. I am now somewhat able to put coherent thought together.
He had another crisis this morning so I took him in to the vet. The plan was to get blood work done and see if they had any other ideas for him.
While they were running the blood I was sitting there in the exam room with him looking at him laid out flat on the floor sides heaving and listening to him roar with every breath. When he was there on the tenth of Sept. he weighed 114. This morning he weighed 106.
Suddenly I was just overwhelmed by my love for him and started to cry uncontrollably. Dr. Richardson and the techs came running back in. I told her I had to let him go.
I realized how unfair it was to him...He was never going to be "better". I was just delaying the inevitable. So unfair to him. I knew it was time I just had to open my hands and let him go.
My boy no longer struggles. He no longer hurts. There was nothing more I could do for him but this.........

Thank you all for your kind words of support. It is still next to impossible for me to grasp that he is gone...I woke last night and got up because I thought I heard him barking in the kitchen. Took me a bit to remember.
Hannah misses him too, I know but has developed a fondness for Zoey pup. She is teaching her the ropes of the household and even plays with her.
We are both adjusting a little bit at a time. I put his food bowl away this morning, next to Sophie's in the cabinet. His collar is there with hers.
One day at a time.

Hugs to you. Hopefully Zoey will ease the pain to both you and Hannah.

Well, I was finally able to bring myself to open Gabriel's "coffin" box. His remains are now in the urn with his sister Ms. Sophie.
On a more positive note...Hannah LOVES puppy Zoey and the little brat seems to have brought back the spunk and spirit that she lost when Sophie passed.
I actually caught them playing together with a toy a couple of days ago, and they love just going outside to hang out together.
