My Nephew Jason called tonight and told Mom they had to put Austin,their Golden Retriever down,he had Cancer and was 10 years old.Their oldest kid Lauren ,7 took it a little harder than her brother Ryan, 5.He is a little young to understand what is going on.It cost $89 to put him down and it was another $400 for Ultrasound and blood tests he had got.Jason was going to go out to his Father-In-Law's to dig a grave.Jason still has to build a box to bury him in.In time,they will get another dog,right now they have a cat and that will help ease the pain.I am sure Ruffles and Dad were there to greet Austin as he crossed the Rainbow Bridge,free of his pain.
