aw Fran, you make me want to cry along with you every time i read something about Sammi. i wish sammi was with you snuggling on your pillow, and i'm so sorry she's not. I guess someone needed her more up there because she was such a great little yorkie. It pains me to think that there is a better place for them to be sometimes, because i think the best place for them to be is at home with their family, but sometimes the plan changes. Sammi was such a little fighter and i'm sure she didn't give up to the very end, and she knew you were fighting for her too. Its so very hard to lose a pet, especially one so young, but sometimes its just easier to let them go when you know they are suffering so much inside. I've held back tears many times at the vet's office when helping the vet euthanize a beloved pet who was sick. Sometimes it seemed like there was a sigh of relief once they passed and you could just feel the pain that they were feeling lift. its bittersweet.
be at peace Sammi...
