Beyond touching. Heartrending too weak!! All that keeps one from dissolving in tears is awe over the way you have expressed the inexpressible. Age has robbed one of our beloved dogs of mobility and continence, but she is not in pain and still has a good appetite, and I love to baby her, bless her heart. Thank you for showing me the way to this. . .I have run out of words {me!!}, I fear. May good memories ease your pain. . in time. Love, Phyllis

Very heartwarming piece filled with so much love and understanding. Always so difficult when one suffers such a loss.....

Be safe,

Ed, this is so touching. Only those of us with pets and who have suffered their loss can fully understand.

I am a 100% dog lover . . . This hurt me to read . . . I have one who will be gone, I hope not soon, but he is a small dog and he is fourteen years old . . . Touching write . . .

A difficult journey that many of us face. It made me cry, but ... been there, done that. You write about this difficult time with a caring and sensitive heart. Me thinks - you know ...

I don't think that anything that is honest can be morbid, only different. You did an awesome job taking up Eileen's challenge.

God bless you. Kathy

Ed thank you for doing the challenge, this is sad,but so beautifully done.Far from being an idiot,you outdid me!;-) Sorry about Niki, I know the feeling....You should put ETchallenge in your title, it might get more reads.

Ed, this is so nicely done, but it must have been painful, too.
Lovely,
