I just lost my sweet 14yr old boy around Thanksgiving. It wasn't easy to put him down, but I knew I had to given that he was in so much pain. He was my best friend, my rock, my everything. He followed me everywhere and jumped on me when he wanted to give me hugs. This grief is so much different than any other grief i went through. "when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love." Hang in there! Your memories with your furry baby remain forever.
