Thank you everyone this was devastating for me i was so close to him i was the only one he would let do anything with him. i was going to take him to be put to sleep because my mom just couldn't handle it. she was very attached to him as well. this has been a very challenging day she was so upset and i put on a brave face although i was dying inside. i broke down a few times but i didn't want her to see me upset. I know he is in a better place but i am so sad he is gone.
