Thanks for all the kind words. It is actually today we are going to tell the kids and then have him put down on Fri. W and I just had another discussion about what we were going to do, very friendly/warm. I did have to tell her that I was going to be present for all this, not because she needed any help, but becuase I WANTED to be there.
Just a thought: Have you considered putting beloved pet down at home? There are vets that do This. And maybe do it with the kids present. We did this once and it was comforting and peaceful and just felt right to all.
