I never knew how terribly sad it would be to lose the family dog.
Poor guy couldn't breathe today and the vet discovered his heart failing.
Blood and fluid backing up into lungs as heart couldn't pump well anymore.
I have never put a pet to sleep and was not prepared for the wave of sadness experienced by myself, pregnant wife, and 6 and 4 year olds.
The kids cried and cried and my little girl even got her toy doctor set to save him. They still don't really understand he's gone. She said where is he when we got home.
We had him for 10 years and I guess I didn't realize how attached humans can get to pets.
So everyone out there, give your pet an extra treat tonight and a nice pat on the head, cuz when they're gone, it sure hurts.
