Oh Grace, I am so very sorry.
Many people do not understand the grief we feel at the loss of a beloved pet.
I'm so sorry for your loss. We have a beloved kitty who is slowly dying of kidney failure and she will probably have to be put down in the next week or so. I feel for you. It's sad loving a pet and having them die so soon. Even an older pet (Ms. Kitty is 17) isn't easy to lose. I wish our little girl could just go quietly in her sleep but I don't think that's in the cards.
Our thoughts are with you.
Mrs. NHD
