Smokey is now truly my Angel

We said goodbye to Smokey last night. It was one of the hardest decisions we’ve ever made, but it was the right one.
I think the aftermath is easier this time around because we were prepared- no shock, just sadness. We’d already done a lot of our crying.
Of course, the house still seems too empty, and the bed too big. But he went peacefully, at a time when he was still able to wag his tail for a treat, despite everything. He is missed greatly.
