My heart and prayers are with you. It is true, what Bruce says and I do believe there is an after life or afterconsciousness for us and our pet's souls.
And you are not alone, as you see with others things we cannot understand, there has to be a better outcome that we don't know yet but will know in time.
I have been heavily involved in animal rescue around my neighborhood. I was going to move due to the fact this was an in between place but I am needed here for now, feeding and trying to rescue 22 animals a day. The sad part is holding an abandoned house cat someone threw out, or ones that were populating, I feed them and used to be able to find a place to adopt them out, but now there is no room. I have to do the humane thing and call the county. I'm still rounding up stray or lost dogs and last night I found the owner of one! So, for now I am feeding all the cats and built houses for the cold brutal winter and this keeps me going 365 days a year no matter what.
Oh, I am so happy when I can find a solution and there is hope, but we don't want to allow those animals to be out there, scared and suffering. It's the humane thing to do and they will go with knowing they were loved. My goal is to get more of the education out there for groups as the humane society can only do so much, just hoping we can give some in between alternatives and demonstrations for catch and release after spay and neuter. Oh well, I've gone on enough about what I am doing, but just want you to know I do feel your pain. Please take care.
May you have peace and comfort.
