Thank you to those who posted kind comments about poor old Smudge. I know that in the scale of things losing a pet, even a much loved pet, does not compare in any way to the sorrow over the illness or loss of a family member or friend but it can still be upsetting. As we worked in the dark, digging a hole in the ground, I thought of the many people who would be digging such a hole for a truly sad reason.How fortunate I am to be living such a placid life in a safe environment where the loss of a pet is a reason to mourn.

You're right, there are people suffering from what would probably be called "bigger" things, but we take these creatures into our lives; here's what I posted on a friends' page today, "We could avoid the heartache of losing a pet by not having one, but then we would deny ourselves the unquestioning love and special times that they give us". She lost a dear old dog today.
