I think you gave her a wonderful and peaceful last few months......so please take comfort in that.....Please! Do not feel guilty for loving Kelli and giving her such a wonderful home her last few months. We find this is the case many times with adopted seniors.....they come with baggage....sometimes mental and sometimes real health issues.....our best hope is to make them comfortable and give them peace.....and that's exactly what you did for Kelli. I hope this helps you Carrie.
Go in peace Kelli.....with lots of love from your earth mommy....Carrie.

I thank you so much for saying this. And what's really eye opening, is yesterday the Dr that treated Kelli at the EVH gave us the same reasoning...congestive heart failure is what he believes Kelli was going through. We took the xrays up to our regular vet and she'll hopefully review them first thing tomorrow morning when she returns from vacation.
All we wanted to do for Kel was to make her last few months as peaceful as possible, she deserved that after all she'd been through in previous homes...she deserved to be able to run and play, and have a good time, and she did. She got to go to grandma and grandpa's, and run all over there like she was the Queen there, too, lol. She just loved everyone and everything, and I'm happy that we could give that to her.
I miss her incredibly, but I know she's safer and even happier now...
Thank you all so much for your kind words, it's hard to believe she's been gone a couple days now...I can still hear her all over this house, her little feet clicking on the floor, her tags jingling (I'd started to call her jingle bells), her sweet little bark. She definitely was heaven sent.
