I never had a dog until I started dating my wife. She got him the week after we meet. He’s been around for almost 6 years and I don’t know how I’m doing to handle it when he goes. If it’s anything like losing a loved one then time is the only thing that will help.
Not an easy way to put it but it sucks!! Had to put a few pets down and it isn't easy but it is humane, and it is what's best for them... Just be there and not just drop them off... That is despicable.
