Tamara, I am laughing through my tears right now reading your post. You are so right, Cricket never came to me when I called when he was outside because he knew that most times it was time to go inside. He always wanted to be outside all the time. I laughed when I read that. His own good time might be a while from now!
The story about KC really moved me. And it's wonderful that you are so understanding about KC and her former owner, especially since it probably hurt you. You are very perceptive too; a lot of people would have missed the signs in that dream, including me. I know how you feel though. I do feel terribly guilty. I told him that it would be ok before he got the gas and it wasn't. Nevermind that he was very bad off and was going to be pts anyway that evening had I not decided to try to save him one last time. Nevermind that I did everything I possibly could have for him the whole time he was in my care. And nevermind that I loved him dearly. I didn't get to "talk" to him before he left, we were in such a hurry (on the vets schedule) after I got off work. I so regret not taking five extra minutes to just love on him and realize that this might be the last time we'd speak. I just never allowed myself to think that and I'm so sorry now I didn't. I didn't really get to say good-bye. Thank you for sharing with me Tamara. I feel better. Several people have given me a lot to think about, and maybe this guilt thing will eventually subside and allow me to communicate with Cricket again. God bless you too, :) Wendy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
