I am so sorry this has happen to you. Just doesn't seem fair does it, especially since you have already had back surgery and are just mending from that. Lucky you have such a great husband and fur-babies to give you lots of love and attention while mending from surgery again. I'm sorry you missed out on your new fur-baby, but for some reasone it was meant to be this way. Guess the best is yet to come.
Wish I could send you a cheery card.
