Sucked like hell when she finally went though. Suddenly getting like 20 minutes of your day back that used to be "her time" made the house feel pretty empty.
I guess I've gotten to the point where I know what the shelters feel like. There's NO WAY we could devote that much time and money towards just one animal - the rest would likely suffer. We've got a paraplegic dog that has to be hand-fed and cleaned because he has no bodily control and he's almost more than we can handle.
