I have been in your shoes before, it is hard, very hard to put your best friend down.
When I did it with my first dog, 32 years ago I said that I would not get another dog, and
I held that thought for 28 years. 4 years ago the kids and the wife ganged up on me
and wanted a dog, so I caved in, and this is the shocking part as much as my first
dog was a fantastic part of my life our dog today is even more of a family member.
Don't do what I did and wait that long, the bond that comes from our best friends
is really priceless.
