The passing of your last baby will be a little harder then the rest, I lost the last of my 5 poodles, little Emma at the end of April.
She died from brain cancer 1 day after her 15th birthday. Her sister, Spirit, passed 6 months earlier due to COPD, her poor little heart finally gave out. Their grandmother, Abby, died 6 months before Spirit of seizures at almost 19 years. Abby' daughter, and the girl's mother, LumLum left us 8 years ago due to liver cancer and her brother Riley died 5 years later due to kidney cancer. Cancer seems to run rampant among animals and people these days. I had to laugh about having your pets with you at the end, as I plan do something similar; I plan to have a special box built to put my ashes in it along with all my wonder little doggies and have them buried with me. I only ask one thing of God to please let me have all my pets with me in heaven. Remember mourning you pet is as difficult as losing a human family member or friend, our society just doesn't place the important on it the same way it fails to acknowledge the loss of miscarriages and divorces. They all cause great pain and should be acknowledged by our friends and family. I will send you my prayers but I know you will see them again someday but at a different place.
