what happened to your dogs? didn't you have 3...a basset & 2 others?
Yes, I did. I posted about it in Depression. Because my husband lost his job and we're barely getting by, we had to rehome all of our animals except for one cat. And my son still has his rats and his hamster. But the other cat and all the dogs are gone. We just can't afford to take care of them right now. It was an incredibly difficult decision, but we knew it was the right one when our Basset started limping a couple of days before the new owners were going to pick her up, and we couldn't afford to take her to the Vet. Luckily, when I told the new owners, they came immediately and got her to take her in. It's a sad sad situation, and I feel horrible, but we found them all awesome homes, the cat we had to bring back to the shelter we got her from, that was a requirement.

As she draws her final breath
Just beyond the door he'll find her
Taking her hand he softly says

For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life

Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight
Safe on the other side
No more tears to cry
