    Sorry Don we just have to try and remember the good times they gave us, once the grief lets up some.

    That sounds like it went as well as such a thing could go, in those circumstances, @Don Alaska . When we had to put my Chipper to sleep, it was one of the hardest times in my life to make that decision; but when a beloved pet starts to suffer, then sometimes this is the only decision we can make to help them.

    Hugs to you.
    We are not planning on getting any more house pets because neither of us are stable on ice in hubby's subdivision.
    Our in home service for hubby's Emma was reasonable. But the cremation was pricey. He could not bury her himself.

    The silence is deafening.

    I swear I could hear Harry's little toenails clicking on the stairs for months after he died. He had cancer and kidney failure, and had not eaten a bite in 4 days before he died. When he refused water and could barely lift his head we knew it was time.

    So sorry for your loss, Don.
