Derek and Elaine,
I was sad to hear about the loss of Dolly. She was truly a loving member of the family. As difficult as it was for you during her last moments you will always have the memory of knowing you were able to be with her and comfort her as she would have done for you. My Irish Setter and my cat (Ratt) both passed away in my arms and I felt my heart break both times. They are now resting underneath the large fig tree in my back yard. Although it has been a few years I think I see them peeking out from under the fig leaves once in awhile with their goofy faces as if to tell me they are doing fine and thanks for all the good times. My sincere condolences to you both.

Bill
