It is a very sad task but she knows you love and cared for her all her life. You were a blessing to each other. Prayers for you all.
Thank you so much. :-)
And I am sure that when the time is right for you, another precious animal that needs a home will be lucky to find you and your family, just like the puppy that picked us out a couple of weeks ago at our local shelter.
My deepest sympathies FRiend, you are not alone ...
I believe that there is a very good reason that God takes the trouble to point out in the Bible that “it is appointed unto man once to die, and then judgement”. Animals and insects may simply come back over, and over, and over.
