Thanks, Sherry.  I know exactly what you mean.  I still watch where my feet go when I walk thru the house - she was so tiny that if I stepped on her it would hurt - rather than just bumping her and her moving out of the way like the "big guys" do!

Susan,
I didn't realize it was you that lost your Carlita. Again, I'm so
sorry. It's always hard, but when they continue to rebound again and
again, we start to feel, maybe, just maybe this one will stay, this one
is different. We have to live with that hope, to live otherwise is not
truly living, to live otherwise clouds the wonderful moments we share.
I've learned so much from my wonderful fur teachers, one of the greatest
lessons is living in the moment, living those moments to the fullest.
Try not to feel bad about not knowing that this time was different, that
this was her time. She was with her buddies, maybe they needed it to
happen this way, it's always so hard on everyone, our family members
with fur as well as those without. What a loving little soul she is!
Such a blessing to you and yours, and now to us as well. Thank you for
sharing your memories of her with us. Sending you hugs and healing
blessings to sooth you in your grief,
Nina
