I just had to put my dog to rest a few weeks ago. This post brought me to tears once again. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. We knew she wasn’t feeling well but we thought it was probably just worms or something simple. It wasn’t. We scheduled for it to happen at home because she was scared to death of the vet. From the time we scheduled it to the time it happened was the longest 3 days of my life. I miss you terribly little girl. 😢
