Reply #27: Sorry for your loss....

[Blade]

it hurts to have a pet put down. This year, my family has lost all of our pets we've had for most of my life. So far, I've lost a cat my family has had for 17 years, died suddenly in January (he was 18), a dog we had since '87, put to sleep in April from kidney/liver failure (she was 15..I think), another dog of ours put to sleep in August from kidney failure (she was also 15), and finally, we had to put my cat Peewee up for adoption, who we had for 11 years, in August (he was 12 - mom and dad moved and didn't want him to claw everything new up).

It hurts a lot, but we got a new pekignese pup that now keeps us company. :)

Hang in there, radfringe. My thoughts are with you.
