I think you did just right having Peat there with you.

Brett, thanks for this note. I often think how much better the world would be if we all had the faith, loyalty and good nature of dogs.
There was a gentleman at the cabins that we've come to know over the years. When he saw us with our two sick dogs (I was carrying Peat from the truck to the Cabin), he mentioned how he would have left a sick dog of his boarded with his vet. I just cannot imagine not being with a dog in his last days...one that had given so much to me.
