Yup. I'll admit it, I lost it when we had to have our first rat put down. He might as well have been our child. I'm not a big guy, but size doesn't matter when it comes to losing a loved one. I was there both times when my brother in laws' dogs died. Both are as manly as they come. One is only 5'4" and a construction worker and the other is a 6'5" 250lb Tech Sgt in the Air Force. Both dropped like a dead deer when their dogs died.
