I just read this, and join with everybody in sympathy for Randii, Kammy and of course Gozar. I went through the same thing almost exactly a year ago with my companion of over 16 years...there is nothing so gut wrenching as watching your faithful companion go to sleep for the last time, hoping you are making the right decision...and hating that you have to make that decision, but knowing in your heart that your buddy is in pain, and his quality of life is gone.

I've got tears in my eyes thinking about it...all I can say is take solace in the knowledge that all of your lives were the richer because of your mutual love and companionship...best wishes to all of you in this difficult time.
