Hard To Say Goodbye

Last week, my wife and I had to make the hardest decision a pet owner faces history. The love for our fellow sixteen years show a different behavior of all of us had ever seen. Roope is rapidly becoming a mad dog, which is not the kind of energy package that had always known. Now we are in the same situation it had faced just three months earlier, with our seventeen years, Cocker Spaniel, Sydney. We had always agreed that when the time for our four-legged friends no longer enjoy life, would not be strong enough to make the right decision on their behalf. Somehow, that the commitment to human has not provided any comfort while waiting for the vet to come into the room. Soon I started thinking about the history of Zooch and the message it conveys to remember the good times spent with a loved one. I thought the cold November night, when I took a cardboard box where she was embracing with their brothers and sisters. From a pile of twisted, coal black child, he looked at me and cried most beautiful small, between the small lips tight, and I knew it was the only one. That was his signature cry of permanent makeup, made in voice and hand gear, to the delight of those who witnessed his performance. I also thought that dominates his performance of strength and agility dog day camp at her birthday party Boz cousin. He ran, jumped, and pulled like no other dog in his or any other class. I was the proudest father in the park. As I stroked his ears and stroked his gray salt and pepper fragile hours ago, I was choking with tears, still smiling at the same time. The time is now here, but a sense of peace had replaced the sorrow. It did not seem angry, but sweet and loving, as if they never existed. As he escaped, I kissed her gently on what my wife has always said that his softer side. E 'was the area of hair between the nose and lips are used to shout his way into our hearts.
