My sincere condolences, Mark. No, I don't know you personally but I have always been an animal and particularly dog aficionado. I have also been through such a sad but necessary need to give my dog peace and relief from constant pain. I know how hard it is. Although, my intellect knows that it was the right thing to do, I still feel guilty but Fran had bone cancer and by the time we knew, it had spread so far that it was beyond treatment and she was in constant pain.

So, I do empathise and will that you have the best of memories for I know that Eddie will live in you heart and mind for as long as you do.

Take care. Stay safe. ☮️

What a thoughtful piece of writing Mark, that must have hurt and pleased at the same time, to write it. Not being a pet owner I am surprised at the level of suffering the death of a pet can bring, I know it's real as family and friends have gone through it and I've seen that hurt. Our best wishes with you all at this awful time. Here's to Eddie.
