Been there too often myself, my last two were diagnosed as having chronic kidney disease. I managed to keep them with me
for two years after the diagnosis in each case, every day bracing myself for the inevitable decision I knew awaited me. A tearful adieu to my last one this past September,
18+ yr. Franklin. (photo: Franky trying to have a catnap as a 3yr. old)
Getting another is the only remedy I can suggest for your pain Chris,,,
