Aww, Marjorie... my heart's with you right now 'cause over the years I've lost beloved pets, too... pets who are as much a part of my family as my 2 daughters, and loved as much, too, in that special way reserved just fhem little critters. To lose a dear l'il friend when it's expected, whether to old age or illness is somehow easier to bear, but to suffer the pain of unexpected loss hurts so much and in a different way. The first leaves a kinda bittersweet, somehow natural, "acceptable" pain. But the other.... the other leaves us with a feeling of non-closure. We didn't get to say our "Good-byes" or get in that last tearful hug. We didn't get the chance to tell our little buddy how much they were loved. A warm and very empathic hug to you, m'dear.
