Least...we really don't know each other...but I am so very sorry for you for your loss. My Sadie Lou the hound, died almost three years ago, and I still shed tears over her. Some people never really feel the depth of love that we animal owners get to experience between ourselves and our pets. There is just something so sweet, and uncluttered about their dear little souls. You did give your pet the last gift that you could...to let him go with dignity and in peace. I am joining you in tears now...It is so hard. The rainbow bridge poem helps me to look forward to reuniting with my dear dogs that have gone before me. Here's the link if you would like to read the poem:

Hugs to you and again...very sorry.
