Scotz, my heart goes out to you. The end is never easy and yes, it hurts just as much as (sometimes more then) losing a family member. Having lost dogs both to old age and had to have one put down (who came up with that horrible term?) I understand where your at right now. They are loyal and loving til the end.

Sounds like little Lucky is indeed lucky to have found his way to you. ((((Scotz)))))
