A-w-w Amstaffer. I am so terribly sorry and sadden by this great loss. I know so well how you feel. Athena was your heart, wasn't she. The grief is so painful. My heart goes out to you. It will take time, but your pain will ease up a little. (not very consoling right now though) She was a beautiful, strong looking girl. You treated her with such respect and dignity...to unselfishly end her suffering when you did...before she got worse....such a hard thing to do, but the right thing. RIP dear Athena. And all the best for you Amstaffer...that your pain and saddness will lessen. (((Hugs)))
