Sweetie, here's what you need to know about all of us here at Pet Talk: we all love our own animals -- and pretty much everybody else's, too -- so when we hear a story like yours, you can bet that there are a bunch of us who will have "leaky eyes" thinking about Muffin tonight as well!

When you said that you felt like now Muffin is known around the world, she IS! Now there are tons of people out there who will continue to think of you and Muffin and remember how much you loved her.

I know how fortunate you feel to have had Muffin, even though it was for such a short time -- and Muffin was obviously SO lucky to have such a kind and caring guardian during her life! I have no doubt that she felt happy and well-loved every day, and you should feel really good about having made all of her time here so wonderful.

Saying a special prayer for Muffin at the Rainbow Bridge tonight, and sending you big (((((((((HUGS))))))))) as well!
