Zen,

I'm so sorry and understand completely. We had to put our dear Boston Terrier, Pepper, down last December. She was three months shy of her 15th birthday. It hurt a lot, and I still miss her a lot. I put a pretty picture of her in my bedroom and one on top of the TV, and we buried her in our yard, marking her grave with a nice stone. I speak to her pictures and to the grave, just to say "I love you and miss you", nearly every day.

We never forget a beloved pet, but take comfort in knowing that you did the right thing. I'm sure Ranger had a fantastic life!

Emily
