As a pet-owner family we have unfortunately experienced this sad situation many times. It is with compassion and sympathy that I extend condolences Phillip. The emptiness and longing stays with us for a long, long time. However, I'm sure you made the right decision as painful as it was.
Kind regards and sympathy are extended your way!

Thank you Leon,..yes you will understand being a pet-owner family,..yes being asked by the vet,..what do you want to do?,..ones mind races,..i convinced myself that i made the right decision rather than cause more distress and pain to " Pew" in the future,..then as one walks away it hits.
