Super71 - what a relief that Delilah is ok. (Hey, there's a song about her by Plain White T's...
) When the time comes for her to leave you - and I hope it's years from now - maybe you can think of how sad she'd feel to cause you pain. She's been your faithful friend through it all, & wouldn't want you to relapse because of her. (I try to think that way when humansI've loved pass on.)
Sometimes it seems our animals know us better than our humans ever do. My dogs come up to me every time I'm upset or worried about things - they always know.
