I remember being 10 and seeing my dog Moglee crawl up a 150m driveway to see his family after being hit by a truck. I remember the blood from his mouth and how much he wanted to be with his family. It was 2 days after Christmas.

Recently my old cat Jackie passed away. The moment I saw her not pee in the litter box but instead leave tiny droplets on the floor, I knew it was time to start planning for what the next few hours were going to be like. She was deaf, blind, failed kidney, two times underweight, and a tumor in her mouth. Her inability to eat or relieve herself had peaked. In the next four hours she was euthanized.

There's many instances throughout life that you know there's nothing you can do.

This doctor was right, your everything isn't always to spend moments with doctors. Sometimes it's to make the final moments worth it. I wasn't with Moglee. No one was. I was with Jackie, but the vet talked me out of getting antibiotics so she could eat instead of starving to death.
