I am so very sorry. Right now, I am rocking my 10 year old Yorkie, Bear. His mitral valve, in his heart, no longer functions. He has congestive heart failure, and we are told that he is terminal - 3 months to 3 years, with care. I feel as if my heart is being ripped from my body. We love our pets, yet we know that we will probably outlive them, the pain will come.

The sorrow does not go away, but it becomes more bearable. I think you did the right thing with a burial, we had our Gus cremated 05/21/05. Seeing the urn is very difficult.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
