I love dogs with all my heart but this is the reason I don't have one now. They are such wonderful friends, and love you without condition. They leave us too soon.

I am sorry for your loss, my friends, and I have such admiration for your bravery in knowing that it is time. Seamus knows too. That is the only consolation I have ever been able to draw from having to make this decision. They show us how to leave.

Love to both of you,

Mick
