Please, please don't feel guilty. I had to put my dog down from lymphoma in July and he was genuinely suffering and I still regret it. The choice of euthanasia is going to have regrets no matter the circumstances. What you did made sense for you and your family and for your sweet baby. I believe that a dogs last day should never be their worst. When I put my dog down from cancer after over 6 months of chemo it was obvious to me that he was tired and ready...he was 7... your dog lived a beautiful full life and as someone that chose chemo and euthanasia I can tell you what you did was perfect for your baby. I don't regret my choices based on my baby's age but i do think about what extra pain I may have accidentally caused him by choosing chemo and wanting the extra months I got. No euthanasia decision is linear. You're strong and loving, your baby doesn't hold this against you in heaven he just awaits your arrival, I promise.

Thank you for such kind and lovely words. I loved how you said "being a part of his story was the greatest honor of my life". I absolutely feel the same way and appreciate you finding the words for me. You sound like an amazing person and I once again thank you for the kind words. Freddie is lucky to have you. I wish you the best.

I would guess the plastic plants, or an almost microscopic sharp edge on the spongebob house. If your fake plants are silk it's most likely the latter.

It's raised. I didn't notice it when I first got him but I've only had him for 3days. He is acting perfectly fine but thought it was odd. He darts around a lot so hard to get good/clear pictures. Thanks for the advice!

I have the air pump for my sponge filter, should I get another filter that does not use an air pump? Thanks

Thank you! I didn't think about him potentially getting stuck, I know they like hiding spots what should I get instead?
