It has been two weeks since we had to put our dog Gracie down. I understand how you feel. Pets are a member of the family. My prayers are with you and your wife. There is a great poem called the Rainbow Bridge - there is a site that has put it to music - it is really beautiful. It gave us some peace - you might want to google it.
Dear tagteam,
May our Good Lord comfort you. Isn’t God wonderful to give us (for a time) Such wonderful creatures!!??
I’m sorry for your loss as well.
