Just today I had to put my companion of 12 years to sleep. A real tear jerker as she was a wonderful dog. Lump in my throat will be hard to get of. The kids are having a real hard time with it. Never will be easy as pets are more family then just pets. We have one dog left now and maybe we will learn to appreciate him more before its too late. Just like peaple who we do not apperciate until it's to late. Call that freind you haven't talked to in a long time & tell them what they mean to you so they can hear it, personally.
Peace.
Peace.
