    **Update**

    Around noon today, Fluffy crossed over the Bridge.


    We took him in and everyone at the vet's office had tears in their eyes. They all came in the room at different times, said their good-byes to Fluffy and gave us both a hug, then Dr. Bennett came in. At that point Tim had to step out of the room (he has this thing about needles) and before she proceeded she asked if she could say a prayer over him - which was very nice. He was in my arms the entire time.

    In a strange sort of way I am sitting here crying like a baby (just like I did all week) but in the same sense I feel better. I never thought I could do what I just did, but I new in my heart I had to be there for him, right up to the very end.

    A very big thank you goes out to each and every one here for comforting us at this difficult time - we really do appreciate it!

    And yes, Gary, the pet Angels are now with my dear Fluffy.

    Thank you!

    It is such a hard thing to do, but deep in our hearts we know it was for the best. I feel for you! Your baby is having a blast at the great big Cat scratcher at the Rainbow Bridge! RIP Fluffy!
    Maggie,

    I didn't slap you, I just high fived your Face!

    I'm so sorry for your pain and sorrow. You were obviously a very kind and caring pet owner (or are we owned?). I recently had to make the hard decision to put my beloved pet to sleep, and it broke my heart. I know, as you do, that it was for the best, but that doesn't make the tears stop.

    Thinking of you.

    Bunny, my thoughts go out to you and Tim. Fluffy had a long and very happy life with you. He is now at a place where there is no age and no pain.

    I am so glad that I knew your big boy. I'll always remember him as a friendly lion under the cats.

    I know it's the hardest thing you've probably ever done. RIP Fluffy. Play hard at the Bridge and say hi to my Goldie. You will be missed.

    You obviously knew when it was time to let your beloved Fluffy go. Fluffy had had a wonderful life. How nice that the vet was so kind, and that you were there holding Fluffy the whole time.

    Rest in peace Fluffy.

    I'm so sorry. I know how hard it was to do. I know the feeling of guilt and sadness. We'll all meet up again one day. Until then, Fluffy will be young again, playing at the RB but never forgetting his family still here on earth.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    How very sorry I am for your pain. I know how difficult it was for you to do what had to be done. But Fluffy loves you for it, for releasing him from his sick body. A candle burns for you both.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    Bunny and Tim, I'm so sorry for your loss and you're in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. You did the right thing and now Fluffy is pain free and playing up at Rainbow Bridge with all of our furry angels. I too felt a sense of relief after my Pepper was put to sleep. You'll meet again some day. RIP sweet Fluffy. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

    Bunny & Tim...I am so sorry.

    Yet you felt it was right...and it was.

    20 years is a long time to love, and makes the loss so hard. But you were holding him, and he got a prayer.

    HUGS to you.

    And Tim - There are many people who have a 'thing' about needles, my sister was one of them. Hugs to you, too - and I hope you got the moments you wanted with your dear Fluffy.
