I'm so very sorry. Those of us that have been down this road know how difficult this is. My heart is breaking for you all. I'm glad that your RB dog Rosie is there to make sure his passing is a smooth one. I hope my angels I loaned him will calm him, and you, also. Animals are so special and this is part of the risk we take when letting them into our hearts. But the grief doesn't outweigh the happiness and joy they give to our lives. Your Sherman is a very special gift that God gave you. It's time for him to be called to his final home, where he will play without pain, always remembering the love of his family. The day we're reunited will be a happy one, indeed. I know from experience that nothing can take away the pain but I hope all of our words can bring you comfort, if even for a few brief moments.
Written through many tears,
Val
