    Awww, it's such a sad time when our much loved animals reach that stage, @OBL. You will know when it's time, though I know from experience that it doesn't make the decision any easier.

    Not a nice decision to make. As others have said - you’ll know when the time is right.

    Sorry to hear about B  - such a tough decision to have to make. Great news about your windfall though. It's nice to have a tidy sum arrive, and even better when it's totally unexpected. :)
