Mistakes: I absolutely need three arms, minimum, and I could use an eye in the back of my head. But I'd trade Her correcting those missteps if She'd just planned dog's and cat's lifespans with better foresight. This 15-20 years with us is for the birds. I cried for a month when my globetrotting Maltese died. I still miss Bear and Penelope, and it's been years. I was such a basket case when my lamb, Pinky, died that the next time a lamb got sick, my husband laid down the law to the vet that we couldn't survive another Pinky episode...Einstein lived thanks to a truckload of epinephrine and oxygen. When I cross over, you can bet I'm going to discuss this situation with someone in a position of authority. Promise.

Until then, you have my deepest sympathies. I looked at Chase's photos. He was gorgeous. Remember and be thankful for the wonderful years you were blessed to have him. He'll be waiting for you. Promise.
