While this thread isn't depressing I can't stop the tears as I read about your dogs' that have passed. I have often felt the love for my dogs is unatural- the mere thought of their deaths makes me think of going on disability- We have 3 yorkies and an English Bulldog named Lilly. I followed this story with interest and was afraid to ask Kristine (RNDiver) what had happened. To any of you that tried to help Ranger, I commend you for your efforts. What a wonderful world with wonderful people. It seems alarming to me how many of you have had your dogs poisoned, I am so sorry for your losses. I hope that when the time comes for us, I am there to hold my babies when they go to heaven.
