That is my biggest fear working like I do, this recent saga of that abscess with Boo drove that fear in really deep. How long had it been there, was she in pain? Would I have seen it and had it treated before it got that bad had I been home?(Given the location, it is highly unlikely that I would have ever seen it) Being 15 this year, I know her time could come anytime and it kills me that I may not be here for her when that time comes...

BUT, what can we do? The one comfort is that we know in our hearts that we LOVE them and have given them a good home and a great life. Something they may not have had if they had ended up somewhere else. She knew you loved her and she got to go to the bridge from her home where she felt safe and loved.

Try not to beat yourself up to much over this, she wouldn't want you to do that. ((((HUGS)))))
