my sweethert

I've thought about this for sometime.Why should I open my grief to a thousand strangers? This week,maybe tomorrow,the next day at the very latest,I have to put my beloved Missy to sleep forever. Her kidneys are not responding to the best veterinarian specialists in the Northwest.Tonight we will spend our last night together and sometime during the day,if she tells me so,we will have the anesthetic put in the IV tube she has had for the past two days.Although the saline solutions have flushed the poisens from her system and granted her another day or two,I cannot bear to see her in a cramped cell hooked to a tube all night just to grant her another few days of life.My best friend and companion for the past 10 years will soon be gone,and although the body will survive,the heart may not. I am hesitant to express this to such a wide audience.I want no ones sympathy as this is natures law and to be expected,but it breaks my heart and I had to tell it to someone.The anonomity of DG has more benefits than just growing plants.Thank you Dave.
