This afternoon, we will put Diego, our yellow lab, down. He is a few weeks shy of his 14th birthday. We will wait until school is out so the kids can say goodbye.

He has lived a good life. He was my smoking buddy -- sitting in the back yard chewing his bone while I smoked. He will be missed. So many good memories ....

tonight I will brave the cold and light up a good cigar and celebrate and remember a good companion.

Goodbye Diego!

Trying to finish a few things up at work before heading home to say goodbye myself and making that long drive to the vets .....

Diego will be waiting for you over The Rainbow Bridge.

TIGER

Wishing you both peace.

I'm so, so sorry to hear this. May God give you the grace and strength required to deal with this difficult task and to help heal the deep sorrow you must be feeling.

I just went through this a couple days ago, so believe me, I know what you're dealing with, and I feel deeply for you.

Smoke a good one in his honor, and hold on to your treasured memories.

We long for an affection altogether ignorant of our faults.

Heaven has accorded this to us in the uncritical canine attachment.
