Thanks, everyone, for the kind replies. I buried Tiny yesterday. She's resting behind my parents' house now next to Tre, and their cocker spaniel Toby. It's turning into a regular pet cemetery back there. We had a perfect day - about 68 degrees with sunshine, and the ground was still muddy and...

So sorry to hear about your baby. I've been following Katie's progress and rooting for her. It sounds like you did an amazing job caring for her these last few days.

I hope nobody objects to me necroing my own thread. Tiny passed this morning, and this seemed appropriate given the amount of time I spent talking about her here. She was just over 16 when she died. Time, hyperthyroid, and ultimately lymphoma finally caught up to her. I'll do a proper tribute in...
