My dh is such a soft hearted

person especially when it comes to animals. He was broken up over hearing about Riley's diagnosis. Then we talked it over and the first thing that comes to your mind is protecting YOUR own feelings by discussing whether or not to put him down "so he doesn't suffer". But then we decided that we just let nature take it's course. We do the best we can for him and look how long he has lived past the Vet's announcement!

Speaking of the vet, he is shocked everytime he sees Riley, and he feels that at this point, he isn't suffering any yet, he isn't starving or anything, so he recommends we maintain a status quo.

Anyway, thank you for your nice comments and interest.
