Good Christ, I just read this. You know, I am pretty sure that this is what human cancer patients experience.

Alison, I am sorry about Pepe’s seizures. For some reason, it is very hard for modern medecine to tell you what causes that and what treatment is best. I have a friend who suffers from them…
Meanwhile, I am glad cortisone acts like a band aid for Pepe.

I’m so sorry about it all, Alison. But you’re taking care of him and he knows you love him and that’s the most important thing. Never underestimate it — that’s what he needs to know the most.

I think you’ll know when he doesn’t want to be around anymore. Meantime, it sounds like he’s enjoying himself and still wants to live and to be with you. So let him tell you when — he knows better than anyone else what he can live with and what he doesn’t want to live with.

Marc sort of beat me to the punch. I was going to say: cool human trick, distancing oneself enough from one’s beloved suffering pet, to use one’s job training to check out the vet’s cool tricks.

I am so sorry about Pepe. But so glad he has such loving bosses who take him in so they can find proper palliative care that will alleviate his pain in his last few months. I’m glad he’s doing so well now. Thank god you have a good vet (I have found very few, but some, with such a good bag of tricks). Enjoy your baby while he’s here! It’s sooo hard when they go.

[Cool human trick: write about things to come so you can cope better when they'll happen.]

This is a beautiful piece. Pepe is lucky to have such wise and loving pet parents.
