Feeling Lost Without My Inspiration Options

[westiemum]

Two weeks ago tomorrow my 15 1/2 year old Westie Scooby passed away in my arms. We both knew it was time, I had been back and forth to the vets for months and I watched him, with real dignity slowly suc%%b to the inevitable. On my last visit to the vet, two days before he died, I was told that he was just like the vets Gran, had bronchitis and needed antibiotics and steroids to give him a bit of respite, also got some water tablets, and to expect some little accidents if he couldn't make it outside in time!!! Didn't happen as he didn't mess even at the end. Anyway on the Friday night his breathing was pretty laboured, so I spent most of the night with him trying to make it easier for him, I told him not to hang on any longer for me as I knew how difficult it was for him. In the morning he went outside and did what he had to, came in and was very unsteady on his legs, I took him up on the sofa beside me, and he was falling onto his knees, so I lifted him and he just pulled himself onto my lap, I felt something course through him and we was gone, as quickly as that!!!!!! Even then I felt so privileged to have been given that honour. I was able to lay him on the sofa for my son and my Mum to see him at peace, and it really helped them, especially my son who is ill. I know that we were lucky to have had our time with him as he had a tumour removed two years ago and we got a bit more time, he also went through an operation a few months ago for an ulcer in his eye, he fought with all his might to stay. My Mum suffered a mini stroke a few months ago and at that time a white feather fell from the sky as I walked along the street, I believe my guardian angel sent that to reassure me, before Scooby died a black and grey feather fell out of the sky on me and I said to my mother then that I didn't want it!!!!!!!!!!! The day after Scooby died the sky was full of great big white fluffy clouds and I was cooking Sunday lunch and saw this huge colud in the shape of a Westie, I called everyone to see it and we all agreed it looked so like him. I alos had a 16 year old cat pass away in my arms, but not as peaceful as Scooby, and and 18 year old cat that that was euthanised. On the brighter side, my brother bought me a kitten 8 weeks ago, who in a way is a godsend. He lies in Scoobys place, he does a lot of things he did, he will never be him but he is a character in his own right and has been a huge help. For me, the hardest thing is coping day to day, Scooby was just such an amazing little man, it will take a long, long time to come to terms with.
