Thank you everyone for your kind words. Our veterinary clinic was very kind and sensitive, too. I just need the strength to go through the day without crying. It's probably too soon to expect that.
Today we are outside digging Marty's grave. We took a lot of time and thought about where that should be. He's going to be laid to rest on a little rise at the opening of the woods, in view of the house. It's an area he loved to walk, chase deer and play in. I will be less anxious once he is buried in his new special place.
Terri, I am so sorry for you and your hubby, losing his brother. Sometimes the end does come fast when people are put on hospice. Big hugs and prayers for your family. Will you fly to the funeral? It's such a long drive!
We will get on the road this weekend, for a long drive (6 hours) to South Louisiana for my hubby's brother's funeral. He passed just before Thanksgiving so the family waited until now to have the funeral.
So much sadness...
