Thank you all soooo much for your kind words. It means more to me than I can possibly tell you and it helps a great deal. Thank you again. You all are the best!

I know exactly what you are going through. We lost both of our rats (they had huge tumors, we put them down at the same time) in the middl eof my unemployment.. it nearly killed me, they were like our babies before our baby. I was crushed :(

It does get better though.. at least he isnt suffering.


Unless he was an evil dog (which it doesnt sound like he was)

I know how you feel.

I have had 3 dogs so far: Shep a Collie (Lassie Type) was put to sleep after a brave fight with cancer, he was 15 and had a good life; Samson a German Shepherd, who would take on anything that tried to harm you, contracted hepatitus, went blind and passed away on the same night, he was 8. After this I vowed never to have another dog again, until I returned from work only to find a small ball of fur having a whale of a time, exploring the garden; Zara a Black long-haired German Shepherd is now 8. I'm glad my parents sneaked her over.
