I know what you mean, PRS. I had a dog from when I was 4 until I was 16. The greatest dog I ever had, and we had to put her down. Her hips were bad and she had a hard time moving around and she got really sick.

It still saddens me to this day when I think about her. That's a difficult decision to make, but at least you did the right thing. Some people tend to try to hold on to things too long. And the dog can't tell you when it's suffering.

Good luck and get another, it will help heal the heartache.
