Beautiful...
beautiful words, as I imagined you would write.
For those who don't know, Cindy is a veterinarian with a deep, deep love for all animals, and one who knows way too well how hard it is to make this decision and go through with it
Melissa, I am so sorry for your pain. I've been through the euthanasia of several pets, the last one a little over one year ago, and it is one of the most painful experiences.
I can still see each one of my dogs and in my mind they are at the peak of their lives - happy, free, jumping around, looking at me with those loving eyes. I know I made the right decision each time to let them go, but the pain... the pain is just too intense.
a warm hug going your way...
