WOW guys. Thanks so much for all your kind thoughts. I was really worried about how my boy would take it, being so far away from home. And it was all OK. I called him before Tom took Nick to the vet and my son got to say good bye. (thanks Donna for the idea) Nick reacted to the phone so I knew he heard his voice. Then a few minutes later he called again to talk to Nick and this time Nick purred at his voice. It really helped T I think to be able to say good bye. Then when it was all over, we called our boy and we all cried together. It was very good to share our grief together. My son was more worried about me because I have been having a tough year. He is so sweet, he has called me a couple of times since.

I want to thank you all again. I am feeling better today! The sun is shining and Nick will always be loved. I am going out to dig soon, that always helps.

Here is my son with Nick just a few weeks ago. T was on his way to the airport to go back to NY and to school. He told Nick he would hide him in his coat and take him with him.
