<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So very sorry to hear about Wyatt and the sad
decision you will need to make, Steve. I join others in encouraging you to be
with Wyatt as long as you can just be with him, with your hands on his body so
he can feel your presence. We were able to stay with Billy -- it was really
hard, but we managed to hold him and speak calmly to him while the vet sent him
on his way. He loved his vet anyway since he'd spent so much time with her, but
because we were there with him he was not scared and he jus quietly slipped
away.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'll keep you and Wyatt in my thoughts -- this is
such a hard time.</FONT></DIV>
