So sorry for your loss, as said above pets are family. I had to put my chocolate lab down at 5 years, I know the pain you feel, I have a picture of him and his half sister in my toolbox at work. Not a day goes by that I don’t look at them and I don’t choke up a bit. We had to put her down at 11 years, they were 2 years apart. The pain will slowly go, but the memories you made with them will last forever. Know that she is in a better place pain free, and enjoying all the sights and smells of the woods. In my prayers.
