Friend-companion--gone but not forgotten

Today has been a very sad day. Due to the fact that Dackery was doing so very poorly, it was neccesary to have him 'put to sleep' today. Breezy and I knew the 'time' was at hand but were not prepared for how difficult it would be. Bryon, bless his sweet and wonderful heart, agreed to take him to the vet today. Bryon knew it would probably mean 'putting him down' but helped us out anyway. I love you Bryon, there was no way I could have been the one to do that. Breezy and I have worked and cried most of the day. Dack leaves a very big hole in our lives. He has been a friend and companion for some 13 or 14 years now. Even when Thad was in 'hospital' and feeling so ill, what did he want? He wanted to see his dog!!! I joked about how I was going to bring the dog in and if anyone asked, I'd INSIST he was one of Thad's children, 'they ALL look like this!' [probably would not have gotten away with it though!]

Dack has been a friend and companion to Breezy for most of her life. She will miss him so! Me? I INSISTED I HATED that DAMN dog! [more believable if I hadn't cried so much today]
Dackery--We love you and will NOT forget you. Thanks for being 'Girls best friend!'

I'm so so so sorry. We will all miss him, he was the best dog ever. Do tell Bre that we love her so much. I'll be thinking of you both. I love you.
