Naomi, I'm crying as I'm reading your new post, I know Bassett has meant the world to you, and what an act of love it was to let her go!! You did everything right, and little Bassett knows how much she is loved! With her surgery last year, you have given her plenty of extra time to be with those she loved.
It's wonderful that you're getting a little paw print from her, I have one of my RB Katz, and it means a lot to me.
Here's a big ((((HUG)))) from someone who has experienced the same pain.
