Tracy, I'm so sorry about Herbie. It sounds like you did the right thing in letting him go. It's as if things were just so that you knew it was his time; there were no other options for you to take. I wish all situations were this clear cut. Bless you for taking such loving care of him. Prayers going out for peace for you.
