This just breaks my heart. I let my Speckles go on Dec 21 some years ago now and I remember the pain. I so wanted her to last until Christmas but at 18 years old, her body just gave out.

I'm so sorry about your sweet Rusty. Know that we all feel your pain and have had to make that horrible decision. It's the last act of love we can do for our beloved pets. Do you know about the Rainbow Bridge?? It's a place where our pets go and wait for our arrival. I believe it to be true and a special angel lit the way for Rusty.

RIP sweet baby. Romp freely in the sweet grasses of the RB.

BTW, welcome to Pet Talk. I'm sorry that your first post has to be a sad one. Do you have any pictures of Rusty?
