This thread brought tears to my eyes.
Mahina's my first dog, but I can't imagine if anything happened to her.
My cat passed away 3.5 years ago. I cried for a long time after he passed. And I still cry to this day and I miss him very much. I always remember the good things about him and those last moments we shared.
I knew we had to take him to the vet and I knew we would have to put him down. So I went on the porch with him and I told him I loved him very much and he just gave me a lick on my had and sat with me. We didn't make it to the vet though, he died on the way there.
It's so hard to lose a cat or dog or any animal, but they know we love them and always think about them.
