Sandra, you relay this incident with such vivid detail that I felt my heart pounding as I read. What a miracle that YOU were there when this little fellow needed someone who not only knew what to do but cared so much. I wish we could clone a thousand Sandras! Think of what a better world this would be. There comes a time when our older pets must leave us, but no one wants that to happen if anything at all can be done, and obviously you were the one to step up to the challenge. Bless you! Bless you! Bless you! We know that this event left you weak in the knees, but we know that you (like always) will pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and be ready for the next challenge.
