Ohhhhh Brooke......don't let those nasty people w/ their cruel and ignorant comments get you down! Tatum is your precious baby...and you know that you would do anything for her. You know what you can handle and what needs to be done......those other people DON'T and never will until they get a precious Yorkie themselves to see how something like that...well, it is just NEVER thought of....(unless like you said, there were no other alternatives and they were suffering in pain).
You hang in there and know that you are doing what is best for that sweet baby girl! Those other people have no heart!

Hugs to you and Tatum and Steddy too!
