sadness about dead dog?

i am so sorry to hear about this as yes i have been through the same kind of thing. last year one of my cats went missing but before he went he had got one of my two female cats pregnant, which helped my grief when he never returned. i was keeping two of the kittens and one was due to be rehomed just after christmas, but one of the kittens i was going to be keeping started to get ill just before xmas and a day before christmas eve i had to have her put down because the vet said her kidney was failing and she was in alot of pain there was nothing they could do for her i was distraught and still am she was the only one that looked so much like her dad. as you can imagine i ended up keeping the other kitten as i couldn't bear to let her go after what had happened. I know what your all going through and my thoughts are with you. ;-)
