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.
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.
Thanks for sharing that snapshot of your life. Dogs Trust’s “A Dog is for life …” motto rings true to many of us. I don’t understand the people for whom it doesn’t. He sounds like a complete star. Hope your little boy’s not too confused by his absence. We didn’t have a dog when I was his age. Obviously too early to think about another, but at least Harrison’s already used to having a furry sidekick. Sorry for your loss.
We moved out of the US to Jordan, and we weren’t able to move with our dog until til the temperature was low enough. Just as we were preparing for her to be shipped to us, our friend who was looking after her emailed me that Pickles wasn’t feeling well and asked if she should take her to the vet. I immediately agreed. The next email I got the next morning started “I’m so sorry, Dan, we had to put Pickles to sleep, she wouldn’t have made it through the night. I teach at my daughter’s school, so I had to keep a straight face all day when I saw her. When I finally broke the news to her that night, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. I still get a little choked up over it 10 years later. Dogs Rule!!

So sorry to hear the news Mark. Eddie always looked so happy in all your camera test pics and clearly loved his new found fame.
I really feel the pain🐶❤️
