This brought me back three years, when I had to help my lovely Bearded-Collie, Barney, float away. I'd sat with him all night, telling him to go and find Simba (who I'd also had to help leave this earth a year previously), but he didn't have it in him.So I had to make that dreaded phone call... I cuddled him until the end, though, and it was peaceful. Oh, now I'm beyond teary-eyed, I'm crying. What a beautiful, gentle, loving piece you wrote.

This is one of the worse parts of being a grown-up! You poor thing Julie, I am not sure what I will do when Rosie gets to the stage when we will have to make the big decision.
