I do the same with my two; Chicken (she came with that name) and
Molly (spca rescue). They get their pat's, some scratches, and a tummy rub.

I'm verry sorry and understand your loss. I've lost pets before, but I will never forget each one.

You are in our thoughts......as will be Oz.

Our best to you all.

Nothing we'll say can fill the void... I'm sorry man.

You know how to get ahold of me other than here if you want to talk.

Thanks again everyone. I'm feeling better about it. I know he's in a better place.

Ten years ago my old hunting dog had to be put down. The vet did the job and then we had her cremated (dog, not vet ;)). Later that day I was standing in the kitchen when suddenly it was filled with the smell of wet dog and I felt a beautiful joy. To do this day I'm convinced Tina (my dog) came back from where ever she had gone to let me know she was happy and I did the right thing.

Animals may not go to heaven, but they go somewhere and it's a good place.

-Blast

I'd like to think that they do, as I've had several very special friends throughout my life that I look forward to seeing once again some day.

Having to make the decision to relieve the pain of one that you love is one of the hardest things that we will ever do. The void and mental anguish that you feel right now will gradually diminish, yet your positive memories of OZ shall remain.
