Sad Day

Jodi's most recent canine patient, the St. Bernard Greta, has to be put down today. Tom and Jenny came out with Greta last night so that we might say goodbye, and we discussed the decision over copious amounts of wine. Predictably, Jodi was devastated that she could not have done more for Greta's therapy. Even I found myself tearing up; I have become quite attached to the pooch during our dog-sitting and therapy sessions as well.

Greta's pain has become unmanageable. All interested parties agree the time has come for action. She is such a sweetheart, it is a very tough decision.

I whispered to her last night to look up a couple of old friends when she gets where she is going. I'm sure my girls will be happy to run with her.
