Thank you!

I saw my DS and he was in a much better frame of mind. I pulled him and the g/f to the side, and asked if they understood why I said what I said, and why I asked them to do what I asked them to do. Both agreed, after a night of fitful sleep, and hours behind them of discussing it, that I was absolutely right. They were just too emotional to see it last night, and too afraid to make that hard choice. It is wonderful to go through the door screaming "do whatever you need to, and dont worry about the cost." but you have to be able to back that up. My DS hugged me and thanked me for being so strong for him, when he couldnt be. I took a tiny bite out of him, and told him that had he followed through and done the right thing for that doggie MONTHS ago, none of us would have lost sleep last night. He hung his head and agreed.

Thanks for the support. I am feeling much better about it now.
