Oh Gypsy, If I can type with tears running down my face! I am so sorry,but so envious in away. My old fella is already on borrowed time and I know that day is coming,but if it can be at home like Tiggy I will be happy through my sadness. I too lost my H then my home and then my v elderly cat whome I had hand reared from days old. My dog has literally been a life saver to me and when he goes-well I can't think of that. I am sure your dog will live on in your hearts and memories for ever. He was truly loved and you will always know you made his passing so much easier. I hope I will be able to do the same. ((((()))))
