I told them how perfect they were and how loved they were and looked into their eyes and cried. The last face they saw was mine. I stayed with all of them afterwards still talking to them and remembering the golden and perfect moments of happiness we had. I now have two cats and two dogs and one day I will say goodbye to them. They are our precious gifts, do not let any of them suffer. The pain for us is great but they understand our decision.
