I am so touched by the vivid story that a emailed it to my wife at work. She emailed me back with a few other coworkers. They, along with me, say we are so sorry.

I have pups too and they are just as part of our family as our 1 yr old child. I just hate that they are more vulnerable than us and they usually die before we do. Everytime I have lost a dog(2) I hate to think when I will have to do it again. It is very hard to get over. I hate seeing the hair, bowls, toys, etc you know the stuff left behind that they loved so much.

Take care man, I hope the family is okay!
