Sorry to be maudlin, but today was a very difficult day for the Sniderman household. Wanted to take a moment and place a permanent remembrance online to the best four-legged friend I ever had.
I know the feeling and it is a hard blow to take. They are not mere pets, but members of your family, and need to be mourned thus.
Take comfort in the knowledge that Trixi had the best life possible with a family whom not only loved her, but she loved back, unconditionally and with total devotion. She will always be with you, never forget that, my friend.
So very sorry about your loss Sniderman. My very best to you & your family during this hard time. Truly truly sorry. I know my words are little comfort for you. All my best upon your loss. Eric
