I have to believe so, but the loss always leaves at least a little scar on the heart...I still miss each of the animal companions who shared their too-short lives with me.
The good news is that she is home tonight. We still aren't sure what's going on. The Dr. says the xray looks like there is a mass at the base of her trachea, but she has responded to the antibiotics, and he says that if there is a tumor there she should be retching and unable to hold food down, so perhaps it's an abscess. In any case, she's still not herself, and will probably never be close to being as active as she was even a month ago.
Ahh, well, even after she goes, I'll have memories of all the joy she gave us and I'll never forget what she taught me about love and friendship.
