Hello. I am so sad for you I can not stop crying. But that was nice you let them pet and say goodbye. When our family dog got sick and we did not have money to fix her, mother left her at the vets. We did not even know she was doing that so when Icame home from schooland began looking for our dog and he was not any where I got scared. Then I waas toldhe waas put to sleep and not coming back. All I could do was cry. My pillow got soaking wet. I cry for you an d your doggie. They go to heaven because GOD made the animals.
