You poor thing!

Oh, my gosh--I have tears streaming down my face as I write this (just as I did when I read your incredibly sad post). I thought of my own dog, naturally, and how I would feel in your place, and I just broke out crying. To lose any pet is heart breaking; many people don't understand how awful it is. I still feel sad when I think of a prarie dog I lost to old age 7 years ago.

I hope you don't beat yourself over the situation. That's easy to say, and nearly impossible to do, I know. All the "what ifs" are horrible. There may be that logical part of us that says that there was nothing to be done to prevent it (and clearly, in your case, it was just one of those horrible, freaky things that sometimes happen), the pain is so intense that logic never registers.

I feel so deeply for your hurt, and I truly hope you can find peace soon.

Thank you Heidi. (((hugs))). I still miss her, but I feel a little better everyday. Pets truly are wonderful, and Annie was something special.
