Thank you both. If it had to happen (and, living creatures being mortal, it did), the circumstances could not have been better--which does not, however, mean that it's not the most pain I've ever felt in my life.
I'm a bit late to this thread, but let me express condolences anyway. I've never had a dog, but many of my friends did, and this inevitable parting always struck them very hard.
a sad day but a portal to many happy memories as well. my thoughts and condolences, sweet G, and peace to you and your family.
Losing a friend, no matter the species, is never easy. Condolences.

I've lost three dogs in my life and it never gets any easier.
My condolences.
And thanks to you two also. The readers of this blog are few but compassionate.
