I really don't know what to say to all of you other than thank you so much. I read the Rainbow Bridge story and it is very touching and I hope it is also true, thank you for sharing that with us. I would love this to be the case with our friends (including pets) as well as our family. My daughter got Nanook for her birthday a little over 10 years ago just before she got married, once she got married, they moved into an apartment and we ended up with him when he was about a year old, she didn't have the heart to take him away from us after a couple of years and we have had him in our home ever since. My daughter just lives up the street and gets to see him just about every day so she still is very close as is our grandchildren. They are pretty heart broken knowing what is to come. I will let you all know when he leaves us. When I started this thread I never in my wildest imagination thought it would turn into this. Thanks again everyone!
