I am crying my eyes out right now.I am so sorry for your loss. Last year I lost a pug to a rattlesnake bite. I did not see the snake and my deaf 10 year old walked right into him. The snake bit him on his forehead. My beloved boy was dead in less than 5 minutes.
I went through the “what ifs.....why didn’t I see the snake....what else could I have done..... etc etc etc”. My heart is still broken but your words today and the responses from other Freepers, have given me much comfort. Animals are gifts to us.
I can ask for no greater gift than to have helped another. Thank you for letting me know.
