As tough as most of us sound, we all have a huge heart for our dogs (and cats). They are members of our family without question, and they add to our lives. Not having them around is just like losing a close relative, and many of the same decisions have to be made. I know my time for all of this is coming up way faster than I would like, but time marches on, and the memories of my dogs will be with me forever. Hang in there everyone.
