Sorry to hear it, friend, Having met you, I know the pup had a great life, and imagine you were as important, if not more, to him, as he was to you. And like a true friend, you had the courage to ease his suffering when the time was right. Nothing any of us say can make it better, but know you made his life a great one, and be happy that he made yours better, too. We don't deserve them, it’s what makes them such a gift.
