This fic made me cry my eyes out ,beginning to end. This fic really hit a raw nerve. I've had my sheltie , Roxy , since she was six months old . she'll be sixteen this year . it's very hard reading all the parallels between what happens to Winona and what ive experienced with my beloved girl. Roxy has arthritis and can barely fetch or jump up on the bed and it breaks my heart to see my racing partner stuck In the slow lane . my poor girl can't see or hear like she used to . Ill be very lucky to still have a few years with her . hopefully when I have to make that big decision I'll choose the best for her . sorry for your loss . it hit me hard how much Roxy and Winona look alike .

My suggestion to you, or anyone else that reads this, is that if your pet has reached it's final days and you have made the decision to put them to rest - give them one more day. Spend that final day doing everything that they loved to do. The biggest regret I have is not giving my baby that last day to enjoy some cotton candy, taking her out to a lake to paddle in the water, and of course be surrounded by everyone that loved her.

Thank you for sharing this story. I understand the pain of losing a pet. Although he was sick frequently throughout his life, my dog died very suddenly. I was across the country in college at the time. It was right as the semester was starting, so I didn't even get to go home until Christmas. I too talk to his ashes whenever I get a chance to make it home. Especially that break, I would go visit him at least once a day to tell him how much I love and miss him.

I've lost a lot of cats, most of them when I was really young, and it just messed me up again every time. I still miss them, but remember that a lot of the time, getting a new cat was harder than going through the grief of the old one.
