It's a difficult time and a heartbreaking thing to go through, but, it does show the love we have for our pets. Fortunately we live on acreage and we have a cemetery for ours, 10 in total I think including 2 horses.
I just hope that one day we'll be allowed to make similar decisions for our human loved ones.
