Thank you all so much. Kendall, could you please post the poem to a yellow dog for him? It's almost like it was written for him...

I know it was the right thing to do, but there's this big Clancy-sized hole in our hearts right now. And my daddy said that I can a)deck and b)dismember anyone who so callously says "he was just a dog".

I love my Mudcat family so much, thank you all again, I don't think we could have done it without SINS and Jacqui (and Kendall in spirit) and our neighbors Kathy and Peter. Ben Hur Lampman said that the best place to bury a dog is in his master's heart. This is too true. He went without pain and his tail wagged twice at the end. I know it was just his nervous system, but it feels better to think that it was him letting us know that it was OK, we did the right thing in lettin him go. God, this sucks...
