My dear, sweet Casey (a mixed breed) passed away exactly 3 weeks ago. I had her since she was 4 weeks old (abandoned after birth and found after kids were tossing her back/forth over a fence), I bottle fed her, and basically treated her how I imagine mothers treat their kids (I don't have any!) for 15 years. I've hanged her collar over an angel on my wall, but for split seconds, usually the seconds after I wake), my 1st thoughts are, 'How is she?', or, I think I hear her snoring, or things like this. The image of her dead on the floor, w/her tongue out and blue, w/a pool of saliva is tatooed on my mind - that wasn't my girl. I just miss her so much. I came across her holiday collar w/the bell a few days ago, and just lost it. I feel embarrassed being so sad, but I just can't forget
