After a 3 week battle of chylothorax, we had a wonderful business called "Happy Endings" come to the house to put our sweet Minnie to rest. The vet was amazing... wanted to see her records and discuss her condition...and when he read them, he shook his had and said he was so sorry but also reassured us we were making the right decision. That meant SO much to us. I held her as she was sedated, then placed her on a blanket and petted her as they administered the final dose. It was sooo peaceful. Her littermate and sister came up to her and licked her head when it was over. Talk about tears, but I couldn't have imagined it being a more perfect way to go. If only all passings in life were this peaceful. This picture was taken as we were waiting for the vet to arrive...we saw a lizard and a hummingbird
