Hey Leaky...
I feel for ya...losin' a pet is just about as bad as losing a member of the family all right. I remember when I was a kid, I had this little pet rabbit...it got really sick one day too and had to be put down. I remember crying when we took it to the vet to put it to sleep, but I don't remember being that upset about it. That is until I read my journals from elementary school a few years later and realized that like 1/2 of my entries were about my dead rabbit. Then just a couple years ago, I had a pet pygmy goat (I know...it ain't no dog, but they're just as fun! haha) named Gregory. He was great and I used to take him on walks around the neighborhood and even took him fishing with me a few times!! I had plans on him becoming my..."Boat Goat" instead of a boat dog like most people have...but then one day he, too, suddenly became very ill one night...it hit really fast, and we're still not sure what happened exactly...we think it may have been pnumonia...and was dead by morning. I was fine and thought I'd be able to retain any tears, until it came time to bury him. [
