Thank you for the page comment - I am already tired of winter.
As for Ginger, may I tell you that I understand, but you already know that. You have to always push the doubts away and reassure yourself you did the right thing. Even though I now have another animal to share companionship with I still miss my fella that started it all. In both cases Milo, who came with that name, and Molly choose me for bonding with, and life companionship. There were many other 'pets' in the past, but he was the first one that made me stand up and be responsible even though my heart was breaking. He trusted me to do the right thing for him and in the end he looked at me and gave me one final meow, then placed his head on top of my hand in seeming forgiveness and reassurance. A few minutes later they ended it all for him and it was instantaneous. That moment will stay with me forever, a final gift from him. Now I must stop or I will end up weeping all day long... those of us who have been there know and understand. I'm sorry for you too, but I am glad you have the memories....
