Thanks
I went to the vet to say goodbye; I patted her head while she died. And cried and cried, the rest of the day and much of today, too. It’s better in many ways, that it was now, and it’s not at all unexpected — but still.
I’m in Florida now — we left shortly after having come home from the vet — and it’s good, I think, to be away. Internet access is here-but-slow, and I hope to be out doing things a lot, not thinking. Enjoying warm fresh air.
Thank you for the kind thoughts.

I’m sorry. I’m glad you were able to be there at the end. I hope that the sun and warm air help.

I am so sorry.
It is better this way, you’re right - but still. I, too, hope you’ll have a restful trip.

I am so, so very sorry. I understand it all. Yes, she is better this way and you know that, that is how you’re dealing with it all. She was lucky to have you in her life. Have a wonderful and peaceful trip.

I am also very sorry. But you did the right thing. Better to go quietly without pain with someone you love than have to crawl under a bush and wait it out.

I’m so sorry. I’ve only just read all this and I’m sorry my wishes are belated.
