It was no suprise, but we lost little 'Radio" last night. he was doing pretty good, but slept almost all the time, unless you were handling him, then he would stay away the whole time you had him.

I feel sort of bad, but glad it is now out of my hands and I don't have to make any decisions. I want to save everybody, but there does come a time when you have to realize there is more to all this than just trying to save. I don't mean to sound crule, I have been thinking very seriously about Radio.. What exactly was I saving? and why? What for?
Even when I got past the self-serving reasons such as space, food etc. there was still quality of life... I really don't know where he was going, and who am I to make that decision..

Could someone else tell me how they make those decisions? What is your checklist? Do you have a certian space percetage set aside for (sorry) dead-weight. I didn't know how else to word that, trust me it is NOT how I feel at ALL.

I currently have Peggle, a Marans Roo who was frostbitten and lost a few toes, he has been in my living room for over a month and has bonded with my DH, his dog and my cat are VERY jealous.. but peggle is HERE to stay.. we are still not 100% sure he will not lose the foor totally but I hear they can be very functional. Just not in the house.. LOL

I will miss little Radio.. 3 days, and I did try.. he didn't lack, love, warmth, or touch.
