Oh my goodness; I am just overwhelmed by such kind and understanding
responses. I knew this group was particularly pet-compassionate. I
would almost say that most quilters are animal lovers, except people I
know IRL not only don't understand cat-grief, they don't even
understand
why I put up with the cat hair everywhere. Thank you again. So much.
I keep reading this stuff over and over even though I am blubbering by
end of it.
I nearly didn't post this. I am so glad I did.

Not all animals are fortunate enough to become pets, but Yoda hit the
jackpot when he came to live with you. He was a loyal companion, and you
were a good mom. And you gave him a wonderful gift - you made a tough
decision but knew it was time to say good-bye. He left this world knowing he
was loved, and that's the best gift ever.

Sherry, I'm so sorry about Yoda. Too many of us know the pain of losing
a beloved and loving QI, no matter what the breed. }}

Sherry....i'm so sorry to hear of Yoda's passing.
(My dear mutly dog Crikit passed last year at this time. It does get
easier, but you never forget them.)
Special prayers for you and Yoda.
