Black Friday

[bigdog]

Well, I had to put my best friend Boo Boo down Friday morning. He had stopped eating and drinking and was having a hard time breathing. Took him in to vet. Vet said his heart and lungs seemed ok, so something else was going on. Even though we knew it was coming, it was one of the most terrible, gut wrenching things I've ever had to do. I could have spent who knows how much trying to save him, but at 14-1/2 years old, blind, partially deaf and getting weaker every day, it just seemed best to let him go, no matter how much it hurt. I held him in my arms while he passed, then I lost it and just sat there holding him for 15-20 minutes, not wanting to let him go.
Sorry to burden you guys, but even tho I haven't met most of you, I feel a friendship here that helps me.

Sorry, this should have been in the O/T section, habit I guess.
