Thank you peeps so much, I know some people just say its was just a X animal, get over it.. But I know there are enough people here that completely understand how we all feel about our critters..
I am at a bit of an ease at this time, knowing that he has passed through his stage of suffering... Considering cremating his remains, or taking him out to the canyons here for a pyre... My area is not a great on to be in to dig a hole, and I certainly don't want anything digging up his remains... I would rather do what I feel is honourable for a friend ...
Did I mention, you guys are the greatest?
regards.. Tim of T and J
