Thank you so much to you both (and preemptively to anyone else I might forget to say it to later). We have two other dogs now-one is a pup of hers and he's about 11, but acts like a puppy, and a stray beagle that actually came around the time when Rusty was sick the first time around. So at least we have them to keep us company.
I know the feelings already. I lost a cat 4 years ago. Kitty was black cat that I had forever...she was probably 16 when she died. We havent gotten a cat since, but thats mostly from having a full enough plate already. Anyway, she got a kidney problem and we tried to hold on too much and she didnt go very peacefully, so both me and my mother promised we wouldnt do that to another of our pets if we could help it. This time we knew it was time. It was like she was already going, she just needed us to give her permission.
The thing is were actually trying to move. Ive lived at home these last few years to help collect 13 years of mostly crap and leave, but things dont always work out that way (cough*IBS*cough), so in a way, it seems that she left for us. Maybe thats selfish, but it's like she made it a bit easier to move on without worrying about her. We do wish she could have seen the snow in the winter(she loved the cold), but she'll be with us in our hearts.
My mother wants to cremate her so we can put her where we move and she'll be with us there (instead of here after we leave hopefully soon), which I agreed with.

She'll always be with us in spirit, I know, and even though it hurts a lot, she went with dignity and comfort that leaves me at least feeling content.

Thanks again to you all. All I know is I look forward to my session of hypno tomorrow just to relax a little bit more.
