Oh my, oh my, that picture of Medusa got to me as well. Something about the ones that have loved so long. You know it may be their time but you just don't want to see them go and you will miss her so much. I've have two that have been at the bridge, one for almost 7 years and one for 3.5. I just had a wonderful dream about them last week where I got to hold them in my arms in the dream, and I could feel their very size and shape and weight and texture of their fur. It was an amazing dream. I hope one day Medusa will be able to *visit you* as well.
