I am so sorry to hear about Skootch. As mentioned earlier, many of us have been there, and can share in your sadness. The most humane thing any of us can do is let go of our loved ones when the time is right. Sadly, that is also the most devastating path to take, as well. May you be comforted by the memories of 15 years with Skootch, and be blessed by knowing he is looking down over you. You will meet again. RIP, Skootch.
