Thanks for all the mental hugs, guys. We really appreciate them.
Let me just say, the state of after-life care for pets in Austin is appalling. The only way (that we could find) deceased pets can be picked up is IF YOU PUT THEM IN A BAG ON YOUR CURB AND THEY WILL TRY TO PICK THEM UP WITHIN TWO BUSINESS DAYS. Sorry for all the yelling, but... well... that made me yell a lot...
Anyway, we took her for her last ride in the back of the pickup to the vet for cremation today. The vet said that she had heartworms (we already knew that part), and that they must have spread into her lungs & caused an embolism, which would have been painless & instant.
We are still sad, but things have been much better since we got some whys & hows.
Thanks again for all the hugs.

Sad for the Greenhaws. Rest in Peace Aspen.
So ya'll are a two kitty family now?
Well... Annie has kinda run away... she shows up every now and then just to let us know she's still alive, but won't come back in the house... dum Max only wanted to play, but she HATES him. So really, we're just a one kitty family.
So sorry to hear about Aspen! Those pets really become part of our families! I remember your mom sitting in the swimming pool trying to get Aspen to follow her in there! My sympathies to you both.
