Amazing how attached we get to these critters, isn't it? We lost our 13 year old mixed breed clown a few month ago. I never really thought about how hard that day would be. It was made a bit worse when the vet insisted on giving her a quick physical before putting her down. I understand his reasoning and have forgiven him for the pain he put her through in her final minutes, but I could have done without that part of the process.
