Off topic, but, I just wanted to tell Wendi how sorry I am about her doggie. Ironically, I recieved a phone call earlier this week from my parents, and they told me that our family dog had to be put to sleep.
Zoe was a part of our family for 13 years, and although she was old and sick...it doesn't make the decision any easier.
She was a faithful and loving companion, and no one could have had a better dog. I know you feel the same way about your dog, and I just wanted to tell you that I know how you're feeling right now, and I'm truly sorry for your loss.
