There are always going to be regrets, but Buddy would want me to find peace with my decisions and I'm sure that Lena would want the same for you.

Thanks, Kathy...I am trying so hard to accept it the way it went down. It just seemed to happen so fast. I thought I would have more time, but I am still reading all the posts and seeing all of the other problems that she might have gotten and luckily didn't. I go back and forth.

I know we would've done anything we could have to make her well again if that was at all possible. I am relieved that she doesn't have to go through all the vet visits, which I know frightened her; I am relieved that I don't have to give her pills anymore, which she was starting to be suspicious of; and I know she was uncomfortable and seeing her confused broke my heart.

I know it was time because I would never let her suffer and I think she was beginning to. What I need to get past, is not being there with her. But when I held her in my arms after I got there, and looked down at her sweet face, she looked healthy again...there wasn't any of the stress in her face that I had been seeing for a while, so I know she was at peace.
