Loss of a friend

The latest in random things....death of a pet....my parents just lost their dog, Patches. She has been a faithful friend and snuggle companion for many years. Some don't understand how you can be upset over the loss of an animal--to them I say--you must either 1. not be a pet owner or 2. be cold. Our pets have always been like part of the family....so I ask that you lift them up as they are heartbroken today over the loss of a faithful friend!!! (It was also unexpected--she had shown no signs of being sick)
