Thank you, friends, for the kind words.

Somehow the decision wasn't hard. It was just the right thing to do. What is hard is actually doing it. I cried last night, but I know it was for my loss, not for any pain he will feel. Should the same thing happen to me, I would hope to go quickly too.

Tonight Samson and I will spend some time together, just us. The cats and Scruffy and Bella will have to wait. He might not understand what we will do, but I hope he will know that I am there with him, for him, with no sharing.
