Only you will know when it is time for him to go. He'll give you "that look." I waited for it with my Calvin and he went a week before Christmas. His symptoms were very much like Marty's. It is heartbreaking. I will keep you both in prayer as the days pass. Warmly ~ Mary missing Calvin/loving Bandit, Flower, Snickers, Miss Jazzy and Ling-ling (I really didn't name Flower, she came from the humane society with that name and she is snow white like a white lotus blossom...sort of fits!)
