the most? Is Ash.

He cried and howled a lot today. He’s usually very quiet.
We made the right decision for Sam. I know that, seeing him at the end. Seeing his body relieved of the pain, remembering what he looked like that way. It had been a long time since I’d seen his body peacefully resting.
We were surrounded by loving friends yesterday afternoon as we lay Sam’s body to rest. When he arrived at the house, our vet smiled at Sam’s living wake. And we’ve received so many more wishes for comfort and healing since then. For our amazing friends–many of whom were Sam’s friends, too–I’m so very grateful.
But it takes time.
