Rat Poison, should I sue Options

[lauriefish]

I recently posted about my dog PEEWEE eating rat poison. We bought a camp from people selling it by themselves. They did not tell us they used rat poison inside the camp. I cleaned the camp and did find some poison so I did go through the place. Unfortunatly some must have been hiding where PEEWEE could get her little body through and I guess I could not see or reach. I called the previous owners to tell them that my dog had passed on due to the rat poison they left. They were nice and sympathetic but only said that they were sorry about the dog.
Friends and family tell me that I should get at least half the money spent on vet bills and the price I paid for my dog. All I want is my PEEWEE back but thats not reality. The money does not matter but friends and family are pressuring me to sue. I have never sued anyone nor like the stress of that situation. I just dont know what to do. Please someone give me there opinion. I believe it is a tragic horrible accident but I just dont know what to do.
