RIP Veronica
My golden-haired cocker spaniel of some 16-odd years was put down today. In her waning years, age had robbed most of her vision and hearing as well as endowing her with a generous amount of arthritis. Still, when my dad took her to the vet I had no idea they were possibly thinking to make it her last trip. When I returned home from having supper and Veronica wasn't seen lying in the next room, I knew the time had come. I was upset more that I didn't have the chance to say goodbye. Was it probably for the best, given the vet said he gave her 6 months to a year at this visit? I guess, but it's still very tough to loose a family member--even a furry one.

Oh Bret, I'm so sorry to hear that. We'll all miss Veronica. In the good ole days she was practically a member of the group.
Thanks, Greg. She was at that.
I'm so sorry to hear about her loss. That's heartbreaking.
Thank you, Mike. She was always a happy part of my day. It's strange not having her underfoot now.
Sorry about Veronica, As a caretaker of MANY animals, I feel your woe. Maybe I'll listen to Elvis Costello as a tribute.
Thanks, T-money. How's everything up north?
