Thank you so much Elaine! That is exactly what I am feeling. I lost Willy in June. He had what amounts to a gall stone that caused his gall bladder to rupture. He survived emergency surgery and was doing really well. I was SO hopeful, but in the middle of the second night in ICU he went into cardiac arrest. They were able to revive him by the I raced up to the vet, but when I got there he arrested again and they were going to have to put him on a ventilator. I couldn't do that to him. I think he was just so stressed and scared. The ER doctor said he had been crying all night. He had never been away from home. I felt so guilty that I couldn't protect and comfort him. This holiday is just so hard. We had such fun with him at Christmas. He knew exactly which stocking was his and would park himself next to it to "guard" it. He was such a dear, funny little guy. I can't write about him without tears either! We have two other baby yorkies that I love more than anything, but there is a piece of my heart missing without Willy.
Thank you so much again for your thoughts!
