Susan what a sad, sad time for you. Michele's poem
really does say it all, doesn't it?
Best wishes - Margaret(Jo)

I'm sorry to say that we had to euthanize Jasmine
today. She developed several new lumps, which when aspirated turned
out to be the lymphoma spreading. She had a fever and her white blood
cell count was not good. The vet had treated her with every chemical
possible and wasn't sure what to try next, so we decided that it was
time.
It's very sad for us, but Jasmine is now
free from pain and able to get on with whatever is karmically necessary for
her. She goes with God and I wish her spirit love, light,
and joy.

I
an so sorry.
If It Should
Be
(Author
unknown)
If it should be that I grow weak,
And pain should keep me
from my sleep,
Than you must do what must be done,
For this last battle
cannot be won.
You will be sad, I understand;
Don't let your
grief then stay your hand.
For this day more than all the rest,
Your
love for me must stand the test.
We've had so many happy years -
What is to come can hold no fears.
You'd not want me to suffer
so;
The time has come, so let me go.
Take me where my needs
they'll tend
And please stay with me until the end.
Hold me firm and
speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time that you
will see
The kindness that you did for me.
Although my tail its last has
waved,
Please do not
grieve - it must be you
Who had this painful thing to do.
We've been so
close, we two, these years -
Don't let your heart hold back its tears.
