That's so sad, what happened to your dog. I've decided that, if one day I have pets (A cat and a dog), I'd NEVER euthanise them (I'd let them die in my house and then bury them in my garden). Sure losing them would be hard for me for some time, but I don't want to get so attached to their memories (I'd adopt other cats and dogs).

We have two lovely ones - one 12, the other, 1 1/2. We’re dreading the day when the older one goes. We’ve had him since he was a pup and it’s going to be so hard to see him go.

Thanks for sharing this, as hard as it is.
