Val, I knew it with my Cheeky one and knew I couldn't leave for work that morning she died in my arms. I cry to this day. She wasn't in pain, I just knew. Now I'm getting the same apprehension with my dear Badger.. wondering if this will be his last Christmas. I have given, as I will continue to, the very best I can possibly can to all my dear babies - as I know you have. I feel glad and grateful they lived their lives with me (as selfish as that may sound) but I know no one could have loved them more than I. You know that too. doG bless the days you have with that dear Duke. Don't let him see your worry. He knows you better than you might believe. He wants you to be a happy Mom
