Michelle,
Have you spoken to your vet since this newest happenings?  I know it is hard...but be it you or your partners decision...YOU know him best...If your not sure than mabey it isnt time...have you tried contacting an AC about it..and perhaps they could see what is really happening..weather he is getting better, dying, or if his soul is allready gone...That could help you decide what is right..to know what he wants....I know everyone knows how much I love poetry in hard times......I hope these may ease your pain....
 
 
IF I SHOULD GROW FRAIL
 
If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain does keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done
for this - the last battle -can't be won.
 
You will be sad I understand
But don't let grief then stay your hand.
For on this day, more than the rest
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
 
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
 
Take me to where my needs will end,
Please, stay with me till the end.
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
 
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
 
Don't grieve that it must now be you
Who has to decide this thing to do.
We've been so close - we two -these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

May I Go?
by Susan A. Jackson
 
May I go now?
Do you think the time is right?
May I say goodbye to pain-filled days
and endless lonely nights?
I've lived my life and done my best,
an example tried to be.
So can I take that step beyond
and set my spirit free?
 
I didn't want to go at first,
I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now
to a warm and living light.
I want to go â I really do.
It's difficult to stay.
But I will try as best I can
to live just one more day.
 
To give you time to care for me
and share your love and fears.
I know you're sad and afraid,
because I see your tears.
I'll not be far, I promise that,
and hope you'll always know
that my spirit will be close to you
wherever you may go.
 
Thank you for loving me.
You know I love you too,
that's why it's hard to say goodbye
and end this life with you.
So hold me now just one more time
and let me hear you say,
because you care so much for me,
you'll let me go today.
