((((n_n)))) what a beautiful, beautiful poem that describes how our pets must feel when they are in need for that final relief. I truly believe our dogs and cats are given to us by God to keep us company on the road of life and when they tire or are hurting we must wrap our arms around them and give them back to Him.
My vet sent this to me in a card after... it was a long time before I could read it. It's beautiful and true... but this (grieving) is all something that has to happen in its own time--don't expect too much from yourself right away Morgan, be kind and patient with yourself.
(((((morgan))))) My dog had bladder cancer, too, and I had to have him put to sleep. It's always as hard as can be. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Prayers being said for Pets, Tower, and their family.
I meant to update about my grandma the other day and forgot. 
Talked with her on Monday, it was her 88th birthday. She sounded soooo much better! Like she hasn't sounded in a very long time. She even laughed!
I haven't been able to talk to my mom yet to confirm what I think, but my grandma was mad at my mom, aunt and uncle when she was in the hospital because they gave the dr the go ahead to give her insulin. Her diabetes has generally been controlled by diet and she has always said she never wanted insulin. But, I suspect the insulin has helped her to feel better. It did my heart good to hear her sounding so much like herself.
I did not ask her if she was still receiving insulin, though. Thought that might be a question better suited for my mom.
The question of care has been relieved somewhat, too. The lady who comes in has already had her surgery and is back to coming over. So that is good, too!
Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers.

So happy to "hear" the relief in your voice. Sometimes it's just damn hard to accept our changing bodies and circumstances. We fight the good fight to stay in control, but sometimes it just gets the better of us. Maybe now grandma will think clearer and realize it's best for her and her loved ones!
