But I do wonder are you sure she has passed over to the other side? I don't mean to bring up sad memories, but was she injured in the attack? It's just that you said her body was never found
I am really sorry to hear about your little girl but I do wonder as well if maybe there is a slight chance she might still be alive somewhere in the woods.
So sorry for the loss of your family member and also that you had the extra stress of finding an alternative vet. The photos are a lovely tribute and my favourite is the one of her in the swim suit too!
My brother in law gave me a plaque that says:
"It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them, and every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are."
I am sorry for your loss.
