Hello everyone,

I prefer to give upbeat news but we have a bunch of broken hearts at our house, including the cat's and I just wanted to share. Our 15 year old terrier was put to sleep in our home a couple of days ago. It was time and we know she was more comfortable this way. She was a wonderful dog, sweet but also full of spirit as terriers are. I thought I was doing okay but it has hit me hard since I went to pick up her cremains.

I have spent a lot more time at home since my surgeries which was much to her delight. The many months that I couldn't bear weight I had to go up and down the stairs by doing a kind of seated tricep lift and there she was....going up or down with me step by step. She about drove me nuts in the kitchen, always underfoot, waiting for food to fall from the sky as it inevitably does when cooking. God, I miss her....

Thanks
