Our condolences Dave. We know just how you feel, we had to put our companion down a couple days before you did. The same situation; he had trouble getting around and breathing. We went to the vet to have him looked at; after the examination she said "if you are here to ask me if it is time, the answer is yes". A very compassionate person who helped us with a hard decision. There were a lot of tears in that room, including hers.

After 14 years, the house is a lonely place.
