Crabbie, that is heartbreaking news about your cat. I got shivers just thinking about your having to face your house without your beloved pet. Thankfully she was with you at the end and that is (although sad) an excellent thing. Sending a big cyber-hug your way.

ExSoldier, prayers for a successful outcome on your puppy's hip dysplasia. Please keep us informed.

MD,
Hug your pets 25 times a day...the end comes so quickly.
Yes,it truly was a miracle that we were home today and together to hold her to the end...this is what has kept us going today. I sense and appreciate the hug so very much.

Not a loss....yet. Libbie is headed for emergency surgery tomorrow to realign the patella in her left knee. If successful the surgery will then be done on the other rear leg in about 6-8 weeks. The breeder has already offered to take her back, but too late, we're bonded to this CHILD and we'll fight on thru whatever God has in mind....and we'll do so in faith.
