We don’t actually care about “your little dog, too”, maybe? I did move “heaven and earth” when my “Puddin’ (a mere cat)” was lost. But I didn’t expect anyone else to care. You do. Why?
I had a senile cat. I never thought they got senile, but when he did, I informed his vet. When it became necessary, I had the vet come out and whack him. My vet cried as much as I did, but he got whacked (I’ve got a good vet) anyway. I whacked one with a shotgun, when it needed to be done, and pulling the trigger was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. But I did it. And cried afterward.
I’m not inclined to cry when you encounter that situation. You are not a “speshul snowflake”, despite what you may believe. They get old, they die. They get lost, they die. It happens. Get over it. Posting about it on a message board like this is useless, in terms of actually finding them. It’s only useful in getting {{{hugs}}}, which I’m not inclined to give. If you wanted {{hugs}}, you maybe came to the wrong message board. [/end rant]
