Bummer

It's a wierd coincidence I think. Another blogger I read had to deal with a death of a family dog this weekend and yesterday I got news a girlfriend of mine's dog was also going to be put down. I called my friend yesterday and was blathering on about my photoshoot and she was really quiet so when I asked what was wrong she blurted out that Wrigley (her dog) had been having seizures continuously all day and he was in a coma!

Of course I feel guilty for not asking how she was first thing when I called, but suddedenly I couldn't find any words to express my sympathy. I felt a big fat tear roll down my face because I was sad for Wriglely but really upset for my friend. She loves that dog and has been a member of her family for quite some time. Wrigley and my dog are actually boyfriend and girlfriend and I even have their picture together in my living room. How am I supposed to break the news to my dog (I know it sounds silly, but I really had that thought in my head).

When I finally got home and broke the news to my hubby, our dog heard Wrigley's name and ran straight for the car because she thought it was time to go play with Wrigley. Lordy, the tears started flowing! I'm happy that it means Wrigley won't suffer anymore, because he'd been having seizures for a while and also bad arthritis. I can't even imagine how upset I'll be when it comes time to deal with my dog's passing on if I'm this upset about a friend's dog!

So if you have any animals at home, give them an extra hug and kiss tonight.
