Whew.

A couple who are friends of mine had to have their dog put down.  Most
folks don't want to be there when that happens, but Ernie said the dog was
his friend and always there for him and he would be there for the dog in
the final minutes when he was given the injection.  So he was there for his
friend as he ran into the Elysian fields.
