[nagdu] Good-bye my sweet angel

[Nicole B. Torcolini at Home]

If you need to cry, then you need to cry. Sometimes, holding it back does 
not do any good. Also, although certainly not right away, do the new owners 
live close enough that you could go visit? Did you tell them that you want 
to know how things go? Just because the dog goes to a new home does not mean 
that you have to cut all ties. Sometimes, knowing how the dog is doing can 
help.
