What does your gut say? Not your heart or your head, but your gut. We had to put one of our dogs down a couple of months ago. So hard and sad and I wondered if we were doing the right thing, even at the time. But I am so glad we did, looking back now with a clear head and heart, she was miserable. I have a picture of her a week before and it breaks my heart how miserable she was.

Again trust your gut. I’m so sorry 😥 this is the worst part of of having our beloved pets.

WSJoy, this is the original poster just at home now and actually replying with husbands user name.
We had his blood sugar maintaining at a good level up until his episode in October. These past 2 weeks though have been really bad.
Examples:
12/8 am BG 169 – pm 275
12/9 pm- 547
12/10 pm 411
12/15 pm 519
12/17 took to vet and we took a small curve which his BG’s were from 379,225,188,130,234, & 430 (this was in every 2hr increments)
12/18 am the word HI on meter took again 674
12/19 am 301- pm 662
12/20 am 500 – pm 65 this one @3:43pm
All of these readings were after his AM or PM feedings just before injection was due. Bean is now showing hind leg curving inwards and weakness his third eyelids are showing in both eyes, eats sometimes good sometimes bad. :( Now the Vet wants us to do the 12 hour curve so they can see if we need to up his insulin and said that the only way they could tell if there’s something else going on like with his kidney, gall bladder, and or pancreas is to do an ultrasound which is a mobile unit so can’t do today and to tell us what?

My apologies if I’m long winded but this is so heartbreaking to us…THANK YOU to ALL for your concerns and information

My heart goes out to you! I had a diabetic kitty and we were never able to get his blood sugar under control. After 6 months of twice-daily shots and enough BG curves to justify buying my own monitor, he had so much nerve damage in his hind legs that he could barely walk. The day he could no longer make it into the litter box and had an accident right next to it, I knew it was time. I hope this helps.

[Sadandconfused]

UA results just came in. No bacteria in urine…I asked why is his BG levels so whacky and the Vet says to do a 12hour BG Curve so they can see where and how the insulin is working not working then go from there. She says since he is still eating and using the box lets try the curve 1st…this is so heartbreaking for me and the husband and I can’t imagine what it is doing to Bean.
Like you WSB I also had 1 die at home because I was to afraid to take her in to end her suffering. And yes up until the end she loved me no matter what, she stumbled from her bed laid next to me and passed…
Pets are gifts from heaven and hopefully what is best for Bean the decision will come to us soon.

My heart goes out to you in figuring out how to make this decision. I’ve used two rules of thumb. 1 – You’ll know when it’s time. Unfortunately, in hindsight, I now agree with what was mentioned above “Probably 2 weeks before you finally do it”.
1 – When their suffering outweighs your love for them. Maybe try to put yourself in their paws and determine their quality of life. At the end of they day your love for them lives forever, but suffering only has to continue if we let it. At least we have mercy to end a pet’s suffering, and ours.

I hope this post helps you a bit.

One doctor answered that question by saying, “Probably 2 weeks before you finally do it.” Another said he had never heard a person say “I wish I had waited longer.”

[Sadandconfused]

We are dealing with the awfully sad decision of letting our beloved cat (Bean) of 15 years go to heaven… how do you know when it is the right call to do so?
He is a big orange tabby 15 yrs. old that developed diabetes 5 yrs ago and we have been managing it very good even our Vet says we have done an excellent job with it then just 2 months ago he got sick took him to the ER Vet they couldn’t find anything wrong said he was in pretty good shape for age and diabetes we took him home and then to our regular Vet next day, same thing as ER then all of a sudden he had 4 seizures never before Vet said he doesn’t know why, week went by Bean seemed to be his old self and now all of a sudden he was sick acting again he got dehydrated, blood glucose went out of control we can’t regulate it with his insulin… he eats still but sometimes not then we can’t give him his insulin… because as mentioned BG goes haywire. Dec.17th the Vet took blood, urine… and results came back a little off but nothing terrible but they are still waiting on the UA that takes 3 to 7 days…REALLY?! why so long.

We’re at a loss do we keep him just because of our love and sadness of letting him go (selfishness) or let him go and then be afraid the test results the Vet is waiting on finds something simple to cure???

SDOT is in charge of selecting and planting trees, which they do with abandon under power lines, and select trees that will grow up into the power lines. Seattle City Light is in charge of pruning the trees away from the power lines to avoid arcing and power outages. As far as I can tell, there is no communication between the two.

[Ponderosa]

Cardriver, despite walking “7 miles a day” you ask a question with the premise of continuing through a crosswalk in a car because you can (despite the legality), but not for the safety of the pedestrian. You have a history of posting about “concerns” regarding cyclists and pedestrians following the law both in the forums and in the comments. I don’t believe you are a pedestrian as frequently as you say, and based on your language focused on any error committed by a cyclist or pedestrian, I believe you are coming into these conversations with a bias against cyclists and pedestrians. And that’s the plural form, not the possessive form, of both. Best of luck to you in the future.

Some people aren’t eligible for credit cards.
Some people aren’t eligible for cards with cash back.
Some people prefer to avoid credit cards as a matter of financial discipline.
Some people use debit cards to help small businesses avoid percentage-based card fees.
Some people use debit cards to conveniently get cash, which is the point of this thread.

BTW not many people seem to know that debit cards also have fraud protection by law, but it does require card owners to be more timely in reporting fraud than for credit. Some card issuers have additional fraud protection, for example Visa has 0% liability for debit cards except when processed by a third party.

[gxnx]

Why do people use debit cards when there are no protections?

Use a credit card and get cash back at 3%….easy peasy.
I charged everything using my credit card and gets$$$$$ back at the end of the year but please make sure you pay the full bill at the end of each month.
I am the deadbeat.

It depends on how far away the car is. If you are a safe stopping distance away, and see a jogger entering the crosswalk, it doesn’t matter their pace, you are responsible for stopping. Passing through “without issue” if you have the ability to stop is illegal. It’s pretty easy to also figure out when a jogger will reach the curb, unless they are running side to side and backward or changing erratic paces or are wearing a cloak of invisibility. It’s the same way you determine how fast a car or a walker or a cyclist is going. To echo to Skeeter’s post above, please keep in mind that intersections come in all shapes and sizes, i.e. it doesn’t need to be a 4 way intersection, or a painted, or well-lit or what you consider “safe” to cross. I see a lot of drivers blow through crosswalks where the street only intersects the other street on one side–say California and Hudson or California and Bradford, and various similar “3-way” intersections along our arterials.
