Heartbreaking, after hearing that good report from the vet. RIP dear Gus, you were a special one, gone much too soon.

What an emotional roller coaster for your friend; Gus's passing and the big celebration! Oh dear, those are enough to drive you crazy as well! Such sad timing. Yes, I think she was right to go (no, you didn't ask). It is the emotional journey which will make the trip so different than she had planned on for that time. Prayers and hugs.

thanks for finding and posting photos, he was a sweetie.
