A beautiful poem. My heart goes out to you. It's been seven and half years since my childhood dog Kougar was put to sleep. I had just had my first child and was recovering in the hospital when my husband and dad told me the news. They said she got ill over night and didn't want to upset me with the news so they made the decision to put her down without me. I still hurt for the loss of not being there with her when it happened. I don't think I'll ever forgive them for taking that choice away from me even though it was in mine and her best interest. It's been almost eight years and she had been with me for twelve. I still cry a river of tears at the thought of her and how much I truly miss her. My heart goes out to you. God Bless.
