I understand @tinkerbelle, how you feel - it's just over 5 weeks since Barney died and this coming Tuesday he would have been 11 years old ... Still waiting to settle the vets bill (have tried twice to pay but they haven't sorted it out yet.)
Domino has settled down without his mate Barney around and has taken over Barney's basket upstairs. I still hold the front door open when I come in expecting him to go and water the neighbour's conifer balls! I expect they will grow better now...
