Mark, I'm so sorry. Of all the inadvertent cruelties of life, the shortness of their lifespans relative to ours is one that hits me often, and one I'm grappling with at the moment, as I read about rescue cats and try to make love bigger in my head than the potential for loss. Because with Polly, it was like watching my heart die, plain and simple.
It's no small thing to have a piece of our hearts vulnerably running around outside of us like that. But I think they gather and store a lot of love of a kind that is hard for adults to express so earnestly to each other. They radiate it. So I'm glad both for Sonya and for you and Janice that Sonya had so many people to love her.
I'm so sorry to hear about Sonya. When our Spike had the tumor in his throat coming back repeatedly and then seriously interfering with his breathing, we knew it was time. I cried like a little child. It was my first time to be present at the death of my dog. I know we made the right decision, just as I know you did also. It still hurts though.
We know how you feel so well , the sadness we felt losing Corey a few years ago and we thought we were going through it again only a few months back with Barney but he pulled through after three days in the ICU. We put so much into caring for them , and they give so much back to us , that it really is heart wrenching when the time comes to say goodbye.

Oh Mark, I'm sorry to hear this. Love & light to all of you at the Bunker.
Rest easy, Sonya!

Tough one. Sympathies. We had a Poochie boy for 17 years, was a sawed-off version of her.
