I feel really sorry for you SSN, this planet's so cruel sometimes when it comes to animals, they should have the rights to live as well as we should do. That link just made me so heartbroken. Yeah, animals are a part of my life, and I have a strong feelings for them too.
Like a long time ago, we got this cat. It was a moggy, black one too, t was called Grace. She was just a gem to me. And the poor thing was only 6 months old when some people ran her over, and instant death. I was so upset I didn't want to do much in the day. She was only just been spayed too. They also left her to die. I will never forgive, or give any sympothy to those who did it.
But when you been with something so long, and it passes away, yes it can be very upsetting because of the best companionship you and the pet had over the years. But one thing you should never forget. Your, and the pet's friendship will always be in your heart and your soul if you was a very nice owner of the pet. My grandfather taught me this, and it's true. Also one other good thing is, remember all the happy times you've been doing with the pet. Like one of my old rabbits decided to start walking on the bottom of the slide walking up there when I was 8, it was funny.
If I do get a new pet, I do worry a bit on all pets I have, but at the sane time, you've gotta give em the lives they want, that's what they want to stay happy, that's when a strong connection grows and grows and grows
between you and your pet.
Let's hope that your dog gets better SS2007. And I pay respects to all those whoever posted about their pets who passed away.
