hi everyone. my family for years have had many pets around the house (cats, rabbits, etc...) we currently have a dog, cat, 2 rabbits, and a quineapig. unfortunately over the past while our dog, tessa, has become very ill. she is way past the average life time for dogs, so she has lived a full live. today we have to take her to be 'put-down' because she is just so ill. my family is upset about this, but we know that it is the best thing for her. my little sister, and old sister and being hit the worst by it. we adopted tessa a few years back when her 3rd owner decided that they could no longer deal with her. (my family tends to take un-wanted, or abused animals in, and they find a loving home here. my house has been refeared to as an animal haven) my older sister was her owner, but she moved out to ontario this past summer, and was unable to take the dog with her, so for my youngest sister tessa has been a constant reminder of my older sister. so please pray for my family that we will all get through this.
