My Sassy Baby Girl

I am glad I found this forum. I thought I was doing OK but as time goes on my sadness is getting worse-not better. My Yorkie, Sassy passed away at home Oct 19th. She had over come Cancer of the spleen 2 years ago, the doctor telling me she was a miracle dog for even surviving the surgery. Then 3 months ago I was told her cancer was back, this time on her liver. I had a hard time trying to decide whether to do exporatory surgery, possibly ending her life then or let her live as long as she could without pain. The vet advised, not to do the surgery. Sassy has been my companion for over 10 years, even going to my office everyday! It has been so hard to see her go down hill these last few months. She was not in any pain but she was not herself. I pampered her even more and gave her anything she wanted. I feel so guilty because the day she died I was out of town at a doctor's appointment for my son. I feel like I let her down because I was not there for her. When we got home my husband found her all stretched out on my son's bedroom floor, like she had decided to take nap while waiting for me to come home, laid down and died! I didn't get a chance to say good bye. . .
