Total tearjerker
I'm a total emotional sap and am very willing to admit it. I cry easily. Especially when it comes to losing a pet. I've lost a few throughout my 28 (gasp) years and each time it's incredibly hard. My family has always viewed our pets (minus the stint we had in the accidental hamster breeding factory) as members of the family. We lost our soccer-playing Sheltie, Sophie, to cancer at 7. My German Shorthair, Lucy, was killed at 9 months by someone giving her rat poison. Each time was devastating.
While catching up on my wedding photographer's blog this weekend, I saw her latest post and knew it was going to be a rough one. A family had asked her (I believe) to photograph their last times with their golden retriever. He had suffered a spinal cord injury while playing ball and it had left him paralyzed; they were going to have him put down. Julie took some of the most emotional, beautiful pictures of this family spending time with this equally beautiful dog one last time. Her work is just awesome. Here is the link to the blog post and make sure you have Kleenex handy if the photo below that she took gets you going. http://www.julieharrisphotography.com/blog/2009/03/maddox/

Okay, I can't look or I'll be balling, too. I'm not even a dog lover but can appreciate the love others have for their pets. That's sad. What a neat thing to do, though!
