She was a beautiful and gentle lady. You all did right by her by letting her spend her last days at home surrounded by those that she loved and loved her right back. Sending cyber-hugs your way.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. Tawney passed last night. I'm glad she's at peace, but she will be missed.

I'm at least glad that she's getting to spend time with you at home....

But that was in a small Spanish town. There was no veterinarian, and the cat had never been in a car or in a box. She had been as wild cat, an ugly fierce animal with large green eyes. It would have been wrong to try and grab her. And she was in pain, couldn't breathe. She had to be shot. A neighbour lent us a shotgun. ........................................................................................ On a former occasion, we tried to drug a very sick kitten and thought (mg/kilo ratio ) let's say 50 times what a man can take would simply kill her. It did not. She walked around drunk, stumbling, falling, getting back up. It was a torture to watch her. The other cats shied away from her, were afraid! And she recovered.

I hope that Tawney's passing is peaceful. Megan and Allison already crystallized what I was thinking/feeling. We had a golden who took our daughter from 1st grade through freshman year college, name of Lily. She was a very sweet and gentle dog. When her time came, we were in the same boat financially, and the vet provided unhelpful "care" at our expense. She died in the vet hospital. We should have had her home like you're doing.

It's amazing how these little creatures find a way into your heart. Dang it, I'm sorry to hear this. This is heartbreaking to me, a fellow owner (non-PC) of a beloved and tolerant family dog.
