"I greatly regret that she spent her last full day there and not with me." That line breaks my heart. I lost my 7 pound apricot poodle June 2. She was 14. Heart attack. I took her to the groomer that day and she wasn't the same after. Died that night.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference.
Love to you and your precious little one waiting for you in Heaven. Be good. Don't mess it up.
