    Oh the poor little sweetie. Just think of what would have happened had you not come along to help her, Monica. She would've died a long and painful death. This way, at least, you were able to give her some comfort and end her pain and suffering. Animal rescue has its rewards but it also has its heartbreak, doesn't it? Although it's painful to think about, you can know in your heart that you did the right thing. She's now at peace and is feeling no pain.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    First, here's your hug (((((HUG)))))
    It brought tears to my eyes just listening to your story. Better she passes than be in that kind of pain.
    You were her angel.

    New documentation systems aren't easy to learn. When I worked at the Rehab Institute every upgrade was a challenge - and that was an old dinosaur of a system. It takes time for people to adjust to change. I hope it gets better!

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    I would like to thank everyone who posted hugs and best wishes for me. Your kindness touched me deeply. Some of your posts brought tears.
    I will post a photo of little girl as I think of her in a couple of days.
    I wish I could have healed her, had the ability but alas a Dr I am not.
    One of my favorite authors Dr. James Herriot said "if there are no dogs in heaven then I don't want to go there" that is how I feel as well and I am sure most of us here do to.
    If you have never read his books they are so wonderful. He was a vet in England during WW11, his stories are funny and dear.
    The name of his books are
    All Creatures Great and Small
    All Things Wise And Wonderful
    All Things Bright and Beautiful
    The Lord God Made Them All
    I hope that is right, I might have messed up the titles a bit since it has been so many many years over 30 when I first read these. He wrote many other books as well.
    As for the computer system, oh my head hurts. We have 5 trainers in the office standing over us and talking. Most of the time they are gossiping amounst themselves and not doing anything to train us because the phone keeps ringing, patients are coming in and out and it is just crazy. I wish that we did not have any patients or a lighter load during this two week training session instead of two Dr's and tons of patient. It is really impossible for the trainers to do their job with the patients being there and for us to grasp all the new info.
    Will I like it when all is said and done, I sure hope so because I don't have a choice it is the way of the future.

    Just wait. You will be wondering how you ever did it the old way.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    You did everything and the only compassionate thing you could do. Most importantly, she did not die alone.

    As to work? It will seem overwhelming...eventually it will be like second nature.
