every body out of pocket they just really need to stop doing what they do and sit down and just talk about the situation

Dear Matt,



I love my dogs just like my kid, so when they get a disease that puts them in pain and I know that they are going to die, I would rather have them put to sleep than to have them suffer.  It really hurt but sometimes you just have to let go so they won't be in so much pain.
