Slick, my heart goes out to you as I know what you are going through.

I know it will take time for the pain to go away on your loss, but she was so well loved and will never be forgotten. There will be a day, when you are thinking about your Speckles, that your tears will be replaced by a smile.
She was lucky to have you and you were so blessed to have her for 18 1/2 years. Thank you for loving her enough to end her suffering.

((((((HUGS)))))) to you dear Slick.

Rest in Peace sweet Speckles.
