    Awww Trek-Chick, big hugs, so sorry for your loss. It is always hard to lose a fur-baby. At least she was able to pass comfortably and under her own terms. Especially if her vet's office was not a favorite place.

    So sorry, trek-chick. Your post brought tears to my eyes. So wonderful how she said goodbye to you and DH! It is so hard to say goodbye to them, but having her die without a scary vet visit was the best it could be. Sounds like you have many great memories of her.

    Another virtual hug. I had to wipe away a little tear too. I'm glad you were able to say goodbye at home.

    I'm so sorry

    I cried before reading this and had to come back to respond. I'm glad Raven was able to be in a happy, comfortable place at the end.
