Thank you all for sharing your stories. I must say the first few days were the hardest. I took much comfort knowing that all of you loved your pets as much as I loved "Killer". The hardest part now is the occasional time when I find myself expecting to see him (coming through the front door after work, waking up in the morning). The other day I found one of his chew toys under the coffee table and while vacuuming under the dining room table, I could see a few imprints from his paws in the carpet. I almost lost it! :cry:
