I've had to put down two dogs, miss them both but have new ones which bring me more happiness than most of the people I know.
The first was the dog I grew up with, he got cancer, grew tumors, it was probably the hardest thing I had to do, but he told me when it was time. You know how they can do that. The second was 13 and got hit by a car, was not expected but a blessing in disguise.
I get choked up thinking about my current dogs, they are young and healthy yet, I've had three friends recently put their dogs down. Vets have changed a lot, they came to the house and really sympathized, I heard nothing but good and it was three different vets. Apparently not like it used to be. Just hang in there, better days are coming.
