My first Yorkie had to be put down over 2 years ago and I miss him every day. The woman you saw at the vets' knew she was doing the right thing for her pet, regardless of her own pain. Many friends gathered the next morning after Samson the first died, including the vet who had never been to a gringo pet funeral. We buried Sam high on a hill under an apple tree and said a few words. A Japanese friend prepared food and water for his "crossing" and planted a small flower garden for him. It made the "goodbye" a little more bearable. |
