Lucy Pug has to be put to sleep.

[Pithlet]

She's my mom's, but she got her when I was still a kid and lived at home. She just called me to let me know. I knew it was coming, but it's still hard. :cry: :cry: :cry:

3. I'm so sorry. If you haven't seen this poem before, it might help you.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

7. That's always a tough thing.

We have a 15 yearold dachshund that's on her last legs and will have to be put down soon.It's sad,but we always replace the old one with a new one from the pound.

10. It's tough losing a pet. I'm sorry.

But, they rely on us to do the humane task of alleviating their pain, which oftentimes increases our own.

11. That is rough man.

I never cryed so hard when my parents called me to tell me our cacker spaniel had to be put to sleep. She was the best dog I ever had. I still tear up when I see a pic that reminds me of her.
