Thanks everyone. And I just picked you, Daus, because I know we've talked about our old "puppies" once or twice before. I was surprised you actually caught my post.
She's a great dog. My ex/son's mom always said she should have been cloned because she was always so great with kids... Playful and patient.
I knew it was coming, and I thought I'd be able to handle it, but it's still a lot harder to deal with than I thought. She's been part of our family for a bit over 14 years now. About 15 years ago, we had to have our last dog put down and I still remember my mom coming into my bedroom to tell me, how much I cried over it and how much I wanted them to change their minds about having it done.
I don't know that I'll ever have another dog, but I know she'll never be replaced.
