Skuttle thank you for remembering me and Bucky. It is actually on friday but I need thought and prayers to make it through two more days of work before I go through with this.
Thank you all for these posts. I keep looking at him and wondering if now if the time and I know in my heart that it is. I think I will have my BIL come to the house to do it. You know how upset our pets can get when they know they are going to the vet. My sister came over this afternoon to say goodbye to him. She is the one who found him and gave him to me 16 yrs. ago. She cried. I was working so I had to remain strong.
The old saying about "Tis better to have loved and lossed then to have never loved at all" is sooo true. As hard and horrible it is, I can't imagine having never had him in my life. He's been the best dog, really. At this point, I hardly remember life w/o him.
Please do keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I know to some he is "just" a dog but he is a part of this family--my first baby. And please give your pets all an extra hug. They are such loyal friends.
