So sorry to hear that news....dogs and cats become members of our families. The only time I've cried since I was a kid was when our little 12 y.o. cat died a couple of years back; I was more upset than anyone, thinking of the companionship, pleasure and laughs she had given us.
Thanks everyone for your condolences and for your understanding. Dog lovers, don't forget to give your pooch an extra kiss on the nose once in a while, because you can only do it while they're still here. I'm finally catching up on things, but if you need anything urgent, I will try to be on chat as much as possible.
