Thank you, everyone.

Very strange morning this was. Queenie has always slept right by my side of the bed, and every morning when I reach over to turn the alarm clock off, she sits up and sticks her nose up by the clock to be petted. This morning I turned the alarm off and went to pet her ... first time in twelve years, no cold nose waiting.

We buried her last night under the lilac bush, with a tennis ball.
