Im sorry for your loss.
My sister just last week lost her canine buddy, Jax, to diabetes. She's donating everything to the local rescue here in town, including his various "fuzzies" as comfort toys.
I lost my beautiful cat to the same disease 2 years ago and still haven't gotten over it. I gotta wonder if there's an environmental reason we see so many lately or just more knowledgeable reporting.
Please accept my virtual hugs. It all hurts right now but what you're trying to do is so good of you. Blessings and peace surround you.
