    Mr. Wilson died

    I got an email from a good friend in Nebraska that Mr. Wilson, the family dog, died. He had kidney failure and his heart murmur was bad. Mom was able to bring the youngest home from high school to see the dog from this world. Sigh. :cry:

    Aw, it's hard losing pets, especially dogs. How is the family feeling, losing the pet? Are they coming to terms with it?

    You prompted me to check my email account

    I just got an email from her and her daughter is upset. She feels it is wrong to take a life no matter what the circumstances. I know from experience that it is not a decision taken lightly. Hopefully, as the daughter becomes an adult, and perhaps with another pet of her own, she will understand it better.

    I agree with you, Bananas. I used to think that I would nurse my pet until she died a natural death - no matter how sick she was. Then my beloved Lucy got so sick. It felt more merciful to hold her as the vet helped her to let go.
