After a lot of deliberation and agonising thought and talking to quite a few different people. I've decided to not put my dog Rocco down...yet. Right now, he's still lively and happy, playful even and wagging his tail excitedly when I scratch his back or someone comes over. I will eventually have to, but right now it's not a mercy, so I won't.
It could be a few days from now he deteriorates, could be a few weeks, even a few months. Hard to say, but deciding to wait until he does deteriorate, has lifted some of the weight on my shoulders and lessened the pit in my stomach. I had to phone around at a few different vets, but I've got one coming out to see him at home on Monday and who'll examine him and let me know what I need to know on how to look after him the best I can.
I wanna say thanks for your kind words and support yesterday when I first posted about it guys. It helped me think and come to the conclusion that as long as he's still happy and not yet suffering, it's not time yet.
