Oh God, I feel so sorry for you and your wife. I can't tell you how hard it was for me to say those words to the Vet. I kind of mumbled them and he said "I need you to tell me in no uncertain terms so I am sure of your intentions." It was like I was making the hardest decision a person could ever make. I just kept thinking that maybe someday I would wake up and they would have died in their sleep, but I didn't get off that easy. I know people have had to make more serious decisions in life about a human loved one, and a pet in no way compares to the loss they must feel, but it still leaves an empty spot in your life and your heart.

My heart goes out to you and my thoughts will be with you tomorrow. I guess we have to take some comfort in the fact we gave them the very best life we could for so many years.........lots of other animals never get that opportunity.
