Mr BRIGHTSIDE's journey has been quite the rollercoaster, and I can understand why you'd be hesitant about his quality of life. I've been in your shoes, wondering if it's cruel to keep him going despite his struggles with swim bladder issues. You're right, it's a tough call - but it's clear you've ...
