Kozpink I've spent the past half hour crying my eyes out for the loss of your darling Roo, its just so hard when we loose our "babies" and that's what they are to us, they don't ask much from us just that we love and care for them and they return that to us a thousandfold, you had a very special bond with your Queenie Roo and now her job will be as your guardian angel to watch over you and your husband from The Bridge, I believe pets are given to us for a reason and if we look after them, they will look after us. Having no children each one of our Fur babies has had a special place in our hearts, when my gorgeous Shepherd Nicky died at 5 of cancer 15 years ago it broke my heart and took me 4 years to come to terms with, I felt I had to give life to another dog to give meaning to having lost my Nicky so we took on a Shepherd at 6yrs from the Sutherland Pound who was going to be sent for medical experiments, we had him till almost 12yrs, again my heart broke in a thousand pieces when he went to the Bridge, but I joined Sydney Dogs Home as a volunteer and it helped me just walking the poor abandoned animals and giving them that little bit of love that some of the poor darlings had never known, before they went to the Bridge, from there I got my Lab Whisky and he's my soul mate just like your Queenie Roo, your baby hasn't left you, Roo now has another important job looing after you and your other babies that have just arrived there, how sad the poor Lab boy didn't get the chance to get his forever home but at least he didn't die alone in the Pound. Please take care Kozpink with time the pain of loss will ease and be replaced by wonderful happy memories for you and your husband, yes husband's feel it just as badly, even though they put on a brave face, God bless you both and I'm sure you'll meet all your babies again one day.
