I put away some things away that belonged to my darling Snookie girl. I put her sweaters away and stored them in the closet. With it I put her tug of war rope for I could not bear to give it up. We played with it so many times over the years. I put way her ball with her teeth marks in it. I also put away all the pictures I had of her when she was so sick, and the ones I took of her after she left this world. Yes, I was morbid and I took many pictures right after she died. I even took them of her in the car when I was taking her to the vet.

I think the pictures of her dying and of her death cause me to much pain. I would look at them all the time, and I would say look what I did to my baby who I loved more than anything upon the face of the earth. I made her suffer because her vet was not in because of the Christmas Holiday and I only wanted him.

So now just the pictures are on my computer when she was well and healthy. They are the only ones I left in the picture book too. I could not bear the other pictures of her looking so ill any longer. I took many after she died and I took more when I had her in the car to make the 80 mile trip to have her creamated. I just kept torturing myself looking at those picture every day since she left me.

Maybe now I will be able to get over the guilt feelings and be able to find peace somehow. I never told any of you that I was looking at those picture day in and day out. Somehow I felt I deserved to be tormented for my selfish act of not taking my girl to the emergency room when I knew she was so sick. I felt I deserved to feel bad for what I had done to my darling.

Maybe now my heart will begin to heal since I am no longer looking at them. I hope God will find a way to help me forgive myself for my selfish act of not helping her when I knew I should have. I just wanted her vet to perform the final act of love who she knew and loved and I knew her vet loved her too.
