Oh no Once-ler! I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. We had to put our beloved dog to sleep before Christmas and I still can't talk about it without crying. So sorry for the loss of your precious family member!
Thanx alice and scott. Pets become as precious as family members over time. Connor was an adult rescue dog. His owners cut his vocal cords so he could be kept in an apartment. very sad. We received him when my wife's parents could no longer give him the attention he deserved. He had a great life with my children. He taught them about caring for a special needs animal and responsibility. Sadly he was already very old when we got him. He survived under our care for less than 2 years. It appears he had a stroke in front of my wife. he collapsed in front of her and she was so dazed by it, that it took several minutes for her to call out to me to hide the body.
Not sure what I will tell my girls in the morning, maybe nothing until they get back from school, but Mom and I are talking about getting a puppy to help them think of other stuff soon.
