my thoughts are definitely with you today...pets are family members and it's extremely rough to let one go.
we're at inlaws and i got a call out at deer camp/the farm from wife sobbing saying our Wirehaired Pointing Griffon hadnt eaten all night, hadnt gone to the bathroom, was shaking, wouldnt sit....so i drive 14miles in blizzard to get back and luckily it's just a bladder obstruction...
