Thank you all so much for yoiur kind words, your sincere concern, your encouragement, and the hygs....I appreciate all this so much. As I leave for work, this is the hardest part of the day....I so miss Hailee's precious little face, always so excited to see me wake up and take all the group into the kitchen for our morning ritual and breakfast....I am thankful that even the morning when her lungs REALLY began to fail, that very morning, she was alert and excited to "chase the kitty", which she did with her usual gusto and excitement.....her enthusiasm for this game was still evident on her little face and in her bright eyes.....I will always treasure that she was active and thruilled to be alive and part of the family right up until the beginning of the end for her......I think I will put her pic back up on my website....she was not a breeder, but she loved the camera and anytime pics were being taken, she was pushing and shoving to be included in the photo op. |
