| Very sorry for your loss. Hard to make that decision, but good on you for putting your girls needs first.
It's all about clean living. Just do the right thing, and karma will help with the rest. |

| Condolences. Seeing an end to a profound friendship is always a tragedy. I have lost more than a few great dogs (is there any other kind?) in my time, I know you must feel crushed.
One thing I would do, to say goodbye if you will, would be to dig the grave myself. Sort of like the last thing I could do for my best pal. The physical exertion helped with the grieving as well. Last one I dug was just over four years ago, and they don't get easier with advancing age. It pains me that I am not likely to be able to do for Clark when his time comes. Whenever that will be, it will be too soon.
When the time comes to consider a successor to your girl, please consider adoption of an abandoned/unwanted dog. |

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 |

| Sorry for the hurt. Flash-lb said it well. Takes a ton of courage to make that call/see ‘em through.
