Val,I have not been on Pet Talk all weekend and did not know that Duke was failing. I am so sorry that you had to make the decision to let him go. I know how much you loved him. You have had a lot of good years with him and those will always be there for you to reach for when you think about him. I know you helped you through some of the tougher times of your life.

I will keep you and Duke in my prayers.

Phred, wow, what a nice post!
