Sorry to hear that man, I went through the exact same thing Monday night, although it sounds like you're a little more prepared for it then I was.

I'm very sorry for your loss, I can't imagine if it was sudden like that
I just got home and we're cooking steaks tonight with a little for him, and pancakes in the morning for him. I just got done digging his grave in the back yard. I know some people look down on it but I personally feel he deserves no less. I'll get some pictures up this evening.

Sucks pretty bad, he was a gift from my parents for Christmas when I was 5. He's a black and white corgi. He's been around for every major event in my life and tomorrow I'm taking him in to put him to sleep. He's lived a good life, we have a big back yard that he's been able to play in, and before the other houses moved in he was able to roam the neighborhood freely and enjoy the area. Lately he has been degrading rapidly, he hasn't been able to move his rear legs quite as well and usually just drags them around. His eye sight is fading out, and his hearing is already shot.
I feel like he could stay around a few more months if I didn't do it now, but his quality of life is getting lower and he's begun to refuse dog food. I'm still trying to convince myself it's not necessary, but I know it is. I'm going to go stay at home tonight and spend one more evening with him since I've been at college and haven't seem him much this last year and a half.
Here's to the best dog I've ever known. Solomon, you will be missed and though I will have other dogs in my life, he will hold a special place with me always.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
