It's hard. I grew up with dogs. Our first mutt thought she was like my mom when I was 8 she had been rescued from a bad situation. Best dog, my best friend helped me through really hard times. My dad who never cries has cried at each of the dogs we have had to have put to sleep over the years. It's hard. My Callie is my doggy soul mate and I think a piece of me will die when she goes. I know it's better they don't live as long as us but it's rough.
