Copper will be making his final journey tomorrow

Over the last day, Copper has not been getting any better. He sleeps most of the time, and when he is awake, he seems very disorientated. I am not sure if he can see well in his good eye or not.
Today I decided that it was time for him to be put to sleep. While it was a very difficult decision, it is the best decision for him. I want him to leave this life with dignity, respect, and not in pain.
So tomorrow we will make one last journey to see his oncologists. On the way, I will be sure to stop at McDonald's and get him so Chicken McNuggets, for he has come to enjoy this treat.
I debated a long time about whether I wanted to be with him as he makes his journey to the rainbow bridge, and have decided that while it will be very difficult, I owe it to him to be with him throughout the process.

While this is a very sad time, I do not regret anything that I have done for him over the last year and 8 months for I was given the gift of his time and for the most part, the times he was healthy and happy really outweigh the time he was not.

I love you Copper! Thank you for coming into my life, and for providing me with the experience of knowing you.
