My daughter's dog was put to sleep

I am so sad as I have just learned that the horrible, ugly people that my daughter had lived with, took her dog to the animal shelter to have put down. The dog was a pitbull and had a bad leg so no one wanted her. I live out of state and travel so I could not care for the dog. These former room mates had tried to extort money from me to keep the dog alive but I did not want to have anything to do with them. They have all of my daughter's possesions and she told them that they could sell anything of hers that they needed to in order to pay for the care of her dog. They were suppose to be her "friends". I am heart broken for my daughter and don't know if I should tell her. This could be devastating to my her mental health. Does anybody have any advice? Is this something that I should talk to her counselor about? I am also a huge dog lover and even though I did not know "Queenie" very well - I am very sad about losing her. She was 4 years old. I just cried for hours, it is so sad...

That is very sad, why don't you call the chaplin in the facility, you may get more sympathy, or call both for advice, but please don't get disappointed if they at the facility don't feel the same way. Not all people are animal lovers, but its for your daughter, and her mental statis, give it a try and call.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
