Tell him there's a big ole {{{{{{MAN HUG}}}}}}} with his name on it, waiting for him. 
Thanks, Bea! And you, too! Take it easy on that hand!
Blecch day. Fortunately I did work from home today because of heavy snow, so was accessible
Our 8-1/2 yo lab, Jasmine, had seemed listless, not hungry, Sunday, then was okay Monday and Tuesday until dinnertime; back to low energy and no hunger.
My wife said Jasmine was looking worse just after noon, so we schlepped through the snow to a local emergency clinic, that turned out to only be open nights and weekends.
Our vet was able to schedule us due to cancellations. X-rays showed massive lung cancer. DW wanted to bring her back home for a few more days. I carried her back in, put her on one of the big dog pillows. Jasmine died, peacefully, within 90 minutes of getting back home.
Oh no, Mark, I'm so sorry! It's good you were there for her at the end, tho. These things are so hard. Family is Family.Blecch day. Fortunately I did work from home today because of heavy snow, so was accessible

You're so right. The rest of the pack not only feel the voud left by Jasmine and miss her but also sense your distress. Lots of hugs and kisses help the healing process.Thanks everyone!
Fortunately we still have the two younger Aussies, and Sidney. I'm reminding DW that they need lots of love - Jasmine had been Sydney's companion since he joined us in August 2010, and was a playmate for the youngsters, especially Bear.
