I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for joining our PT site. You've come to the right place. So many of us have had the same experience. I certainly feel your immense pain.

Cassy sounded like a very special girl. You are lucky that she was with you for so long. My Cody left me in 2003 and I think of him every single day. There are times when I still cry. I found that loving and losing a pet is one of the most satisfying/saddest things in the universe. It only got easier for me when I realized that letting him go was an unselfish deed and that he was now healthy. I also have beautiful memories that sustain me.

Please believe me that it never gets easier, just more accepting. Sassy will always be in your heart and mind. I'm sure she is grateful to you for her wonderful life and is watching over you, wearing her puppy angel wings.

Hugs to you and yours.
