My heart sank when I saw the title of this thread. I met Seamus in May, and although he was not in good shape, he was still a noble fellow and a wonderful companion. It won't be easy for you guys, and there isn't much that can be said - it breaks your heart. Know that many of us have been through this and we understand how much it hurts. I know I'm hoping that when I cross the bridge, I'll hear a "woof" and my Missie will come bounding up to meet me....
