yeah, I got a little choked up. My brother had a dog he got as a puppy and she was always eager to see me when I visited, she would run up to the door for scritches when I came in. At about 14, she became very ill and was battling cancer, cataracts, and dysplasia in her hips. Still, I'd walk in and she would try to greet me. I finally told him that it was time, and it was so difficult for all of us, especially him.
Pets are family.. I dont' care what anyone says... I had a parrot, and he was like my kid. 19 years with him, first I rescued him from an abusive owner, he ended up rescuing me from myself. when he passed, I cried like a baby. Thanks for sharing the story...
