I to am sorry Don, I"ve been there more times than I care to remember. Had to put a Horse down when she got to old to get up off the ground. I spent a few hundred doing it right, putting her to sleep. I had to put our 7 year old lab/collie mix down when we found out she had cancer. This was a dog we spent $2k on after she broke a leg 6 years earlier. I spent another $350 before the decision was made to end her suffering. We spent nearly that much on my duaghters german shepard after we bought him and he ended up with an intestinal blockage just a few weeks after getting him home. He"s three now and a grandchampion winner at 4h agility and obedience. It was worth every penney to have him here today. I guess what I"m getting at, is that it"s amazing how pets become more than just an "animal", but like children. Quoting dollar amounts just shows how attached we get. I know that there will be no dog like the one you lost, but you"ll have your memories. In time I hope you find another to bond with just the same.
