Liz I am so sorry to read that Obie is gone. Please tell your daughter that your friends at Pet Talk are here for her if she would care to just come and share some of her memories of Obie. I am glad she was there to make the decision at that time, although it is a horrible decision to have to make. I have been through it a few times myself and it is always just awful. Some day in the future when the immediate pain subsides she may again reach out for another furry companion. For now we send our love to you and to your daughter and our sympathies as well.
