Pet Death... Worse than a death in the family ???

ABSOULUTELY! My dog took ill one Sunday and I rushed her up to animal emergency where they couldn't determine what was wrong and said she was on her way out. Balled like a baby! Finally got in to see her regular vet at the end of the week where they ran tests and wrote a script. She is still with me. Shortly after my mother died. Thank God it wasn't the dog!
