Location: Houston, Texas | My condolences Paul. It's never an easy thing to have to do. I think everyone's probably had to go through the same thing at one time or another. But the special ones are as tough as losing a family member. My toughest was a very special thoroughbred I raised from a yearling.

So sorry to hear this, buddy. My heart is heavy for you and your family. I, too, had a Charlie once. |

Then I remember when my second dog died, a golden retriever. She had a nice personality. I felt sad. Then I remember when my third dog died, a labrador retriever. Oh boy. It's like losing a best friend. Now I live in a place where having a dog is difficult. I sure do miss it. |
