Dori is in my prayers and I too feel your pain. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE animals and HATE (yes HATE) people who abuse them or get them then treat them like crap!
I had a cat, got her when I was 16 and she was 8 weeks old. Had her for 10 years-we grew up together and she was my buddy, her and I against the world... anyway, she was a princess and "talked" to me everyday ALL day. She wouldn't go to bed without me at night she'd pace the hallway between the room I was in and the bedroom & cry/meow in her Siamese tone until I gave in and went to bed. Well one night about 3AM I heard a noise, sounded like the remote falling off the bed, then I heard her distress cry (the one when I was taking her the groomers) twice, then 2 gasps for air, then nothing. I flipped out & jumped out of bed, made my live-in boyfriend get her, I couldn't pick her up-long story short, to the emergency clinic but she was already gone. I didn't work for days and wouldn't talk to anyone. It's been 3 years & it still feels like yesterday. I miss her. Storm my new kitty of 2 years is great but nothing can replace CJ. Wish me luck too-taking in a 7 month old kitten next weekend, lets hope Storm, who acts like her name, isn't too mad at mommy!
My prayers are with you!

I am so sorry about your CJ! Losing a pet truly is like losing a family member; nothing can fill the void ever. I know things will work out great for the new addition and I wish you luck!

Thank you very much & you are correct nothing can ever replace them but luckily now my memories of her are happy ones & I was at least glad that I was there to know her death was quick & painless, that helped a tiny bit. CJ was creamated and I have her ashes in a things remembered heart shaped box with "in loving memory of CJ" and a cat etched into it. I told my mom I want her buried with me-most people think I'm crazy but she was the best friend I ever had.
Thanks for the wish of luck, I would've gotten two kittens when I got Storm (she was 8weeks old)but I had a 100 lb. indoor black lab living with me at the time so thought one would do the trick but now that the boyfriend & dog are gone, I have room in my home for another loving home for an animal.
Please keep us posted on the outcome with Dori!

SHE'S HOME!
I went to pick her up at the clinic about an hour ago... when they brought her out to me I almost started crying I was so relieved!!! DD was with me and Dori was so excited to see us. Everything went fine She is laying around and we are giving her lots of love now. Now it seems silly that I was so worried about her because she is fine, but I have never felt fear like that before. I think that the hardest part is that if something were to happen, I wouldn't be there; she would be with someone in a sterile lab coat who doesn't understand her whines or know that her favorite spot to sleep is on the bathroom floor wrapped around the toilet, that she loves DD's friends, that she loves to sit on people when they are laying on the floor (she does it almost everytime!), that she waits until I am not looking to take the food that DS2 is handing her under the table and that Lucy is her absolute hero.
I tell you what, being in there made me want to foster. There are so many dogs that go through the spay clinic that have been abused and are missing hair from neglect... it really breaks your heart. There should be strict laws protecting animals. At least I can do my part! I have two beautiful babies that will never be hurt again. If only I had a bigger yard...
Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers everyone. You have no idea how much that means to me! :7

that isn't crazy! My best friends has the ashes of Chester, her black lab mix, on a table surrounded by all of his pictures. We call it the Chester Shrine. He was with BF and her DH ever since they got married and he loved and protected their two kids. I think it is precious!

RE: SHE'S HOME!
YIPPEE!!!!! Don't ever feel stupid for worrying so much about your babies! That just shows how HUGE of a heart you have & that you are a wonderful person. I so wish there were more people like you who truly loves animals. I always said if I didn't have to work and could afford to I would open up home like "shelters" for animals where they would be safe, always have a warm couch (or toilet) to curl up on or around and enough food that they would never be hungry again.
Take care and give Dori kisses for me!

Charlotte, Lucy is a pit bull/doberman mix. She gets her coat and her temperament from her mom (from what the foster parent said) and she gets her build and stamina from her dad. I love her coloring - it makes her one of the most beautiful dogs I have ever seen.
