Roxiebell - it's been 8 weeks since you went to the bridge. I miss you so much I can hardly stand it. I know daddy and I did the right thing -when you were so sick last year you got better for me so I could have the surgery I needed. I couldn't have gotten through it without you, baby girl. But, that day, 8 weeks ago, when daddy called me to tell me you had collapsed in the basement, and I saw when I got home that you couldn't walk or eat or drink, I thought you would go on your own. I know how much you hated going to the vet, that's why I knew you wanted us to end your life. Because when we took you to the vet, you didn't struggle - you couldn't walk and we carried you in on that ironing board we used as a stretcher. If you had cried or seemed scared, we would have tried other measures to keep you with us. But you didn't,you were quiet and in pain and we knew it was right. I love you so much and daddy does too. There will be no other to replace you - that is impossible. I hope there is a rainbow bridge, because I can't bear it to never see you, feel you or smell your wonderful popcorn smell again. Rest in peace, angel. We will love you forever.
