I want to thank everyone for their kind thoughts and wishes about our loss of our Buffy. She was very much loved and will be missed, even though we do know that she is much better off now than when she was in pain near the end.
Special *hugs* to Bernadette for the loss of your Lady who I am sure is happy with your son Edward now, just as Buffy is happy with my parents.... and to Melinda who has an impending loss of your Winnie, I'm sure she and Buffy make friends and enjoy their new-found freedom from pain and be able to run and play like they used to. And Katherine, it is hard to let go... but I'm sure when the time comes for Wooly, you will help her on her journey by giving her loving pats and talk to her for comfort.
Thank you everyone who gave me the url for Rainbow Bridge. That is such a comforting page, and Matthew liked it too. I'm sure it helped ease some of his pain in his heart about losing Buffy. He went out yesterday and buried her quietly by himself... told me after it was over. I went outside with Casper (actually I went outside with him *everytime* yesterday... he just slowly walked out, did what he needed to do and came back in... no playing and running, no barking at neighbour dogs) and we walked up to the back fence where Buffy is buried. Casper went over and sniffed at her grave, looked at me, and walked back over to me. :o( One of the later times we went out, I noticed that something had dug a hole in the dirt of Buffy's grave... it wasn't Casper as he had no dirt on his paws and he only went outside when I was with him... so Matthew had to go out and put some branches on top of her grave in hopes that it will keep whatever did that away until the ground hardens up properly.
Thank you all, once again!
*hugs* Gemini
