esshup,

That poem gets me through each time I must let my pet go so they are happy again. Burger, they depend on us to feed them, let them out, play with them, take them to the doctor, and in return they give us unconditional love. That love also requires us to make sure they are happy, healthy safe and out of pain. They know that we know what is best for them.

I'm sure all of my animals (I had to do what you did 4 times last year) are there at the Rainbow bridge to greet Toby. I know they are romping around having a good time waiting for the time for us to show up so they can lick our faces and jump up and say "I Love You Too"
