Breaking a Promise

Just a quick note to say, Mike is a sweetheart. He knows I'm having problems with planning euthinizing Longhorn. He took the initiative to get everything scheduled and set up. I guess I'm so upset because I couldn't turn Longhorn around. He's come a long way but I can't trust him nor will I ever be able to trust him. I'm disappointed that I couldn't do more. I'm disappointed that because I couldn't do more, his founder has gotten worse. I've never actually gotten his feet trimmed because no one could handle him. So now he's to the point where he is uncomfortable. I know I should have euthinized him months ago. I'm disapointed in myself for not just doing it the week after he came to Borderlands. I'd had such high hopes for Longhorn and now they are all dashed for him.

Longhorn will be the first one that I do not stay until they take their very last breath. I'd made it a promise that I would be there until the very end. But for some reason, I simply can't do it for him. I've failed him.

At least he knew months of food, kindness, and love. And he won't be alone. Mike and Dad will be there until the end. I just wish I could keep my promise to Longhorn.
