1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Yes, when my boy cat got really sick and following the advice of a particular vet I carried out treatment that kept him alive but I don’t think was in his best interest. I thought I was doing the right thing but I soon realised it was about my needs and not his and I still feel guilty about that. I think he suffered more than he needed to and I should have let him go sooner. He was a beautiful friend and I feel I let him down a bit. Sometimes I think I let my pooches down because I have to work and they hate when I have to leave. Especially if I have to go away on a work trip. They go and sulk under the dining room table when they see me packing. I feel like such a heel then.
