Thank you so much everyone for your kind words. It is always so comforting to be around other people who understand what it means to lose a furbaby. I have found that most people look at their pets as just pets, where my family has always treated our pets as family. I hope and pray every day that she is somewhere special - feeling happy and and at peace - knowing that one day I will join her. Your kind words mean so much to me and I truly appreciate you taking the time to respond to me. I have lost touch with Pet Talk, mainly because taking care of Sydney had become a second job. Even after she beat cancer, she was dealing with hyperthyroidism, etc. There were several medications we had to give her every day, twice a day, for the last four years, as well as so many other responsibilities. When we almost lost her the first time to cancer, we tried to do everything we could do to make her life full of love and happiness. You can say - she ran our home. All of our lives revolved around her. I know it is going to take me a long time to get over the loss of her, but I truly hope and believe that one day she and I, and my other babies, will be reunited again. Thank you again for your kind words - as they are a moment of comfort in this very sad and difficult time.
