@jonconnorton A bit grim. I keep waking up and she's not there. One problem of being housebound is that we were each others only constant companions for many years.
It must be well over thirty years since I have been without a dog, cat or both, for more than a couple of months in total.
I think I made the right decision at the right time, but you know how tough that is. Part of the deal though. Oh dear.
