    Making the decision to have a pet put sleep is heartbreaking, there comes a point when the quality of life of the pet is so low it is the kindest option, Si should be supporting you not causing you more anguish.

    FYI I certainly don't regard you as a pessimist, you get out there and do stuff. when you could no longer do cross stitch with both hands you found a way round it, Paula you're a strong fighter.

    Thank you, Mike. Though to be fair to Si he is usually amazingly supportive. I know he’s just really, really struggling with the thought that Polo hasn’t got much time left. And, as we all do when we’re in pain, he’s lashing out. So I know I shouldn’t really be hurt, but I am. So there you go :/
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Oh sweetie, as the saying goes "you take it out on the one you love the most" he should not be lashing out at you though. But you are strong and your a strong couple and you will work it out, Si isn't going to want Polo to suffer though and he is sensible.

    Have you talked it through yet and cleared the air?

    A bit nervous about my phone interview with the Jobcentre tomorrow. Just trying to get all my pension paperwork together.
