After taking the old dog for a walk one evening a few years back, she was bouncing all over the floor in pain and could not get up. I had to take her in to a vet to euthanize her.

The 15 year old sibling cats (Donny and Marie) were eaten by coyotes last summer. I still am bummed about losing Donny as he was the most friendly and cool cat I ever knew. The kids want to get another cat, but I am not ready. When the time comes, I dont think that I will let any new cat go outside - too many coyotes and raccoons in my neighborhood.
