petr, thanks for telling us about Sam. My condolences...it is never easy to make that decision, but it is the best we can do for them and they always do their best for us. What an incredible relationship, right?

I'll have the Sam in a raincoat image in my mind and heart for a long time.

Mets, you have posted a very vivid picture, too. I am glad you survived also.

In sympathy,

kat
