I don't think I'll be able to talk about this much. I just wrote someone about it in an e-mail, so I decided to copy and paste it here. I don't want to think about it a lot because it was very traumatic for me, though I know I did the best thing.
Quatsch has been gone a little over a week now. It was very peaceful. I took her out to her favorite vet and vet assistant on Nov. 11th (Tuesday). It was a little before noon. I held her, hugged her lightly and petted her. I felt her shudder when the shot went into her. It was very difficult for me. I'd never had to do anything like that. It was actually very surreal. It didn't feel real for a long time.
I miss her a lot. I tried to put images in her head of grass for her to play in, canals for her to run up and down in, butterflies for her to chase. I also imagined her basking in the sunlight, lying on her back with her legs up in the air, begging for someone to rub her tummy :)

In Memoriam, Quatsch Strickland, 1994-2008
Quatsch and her resume
In Loving Memory of Quatsch
In memory of my sweet baby who was put to sleep today, November 11th, 2008. She would have been 15 years old in January. I still can't believe she's gone. I love her very much and I miss her. My hope for her now is that she's gone on to a better, brighter, and very playful place.
I will be adding more songs and photos as I go along.
This is also for my other long ago lost pets, Molly (the cat), Gizmo and Goldie (the dogs). I unfortunately was not wise enough to take pictures of them. I didn't make that mistake with Quatsch. I hope they were able to meet Quatsch on the other side.
The Orange Peels, "April Come She Will"
Bionic Systems Go!, "The Angels Have Let You Down"
Sufjan Stevens, "Casimir Pulaski Day"
Bloc Party, "I Still Remember" (Live)
Sarah McLachlan, "Angel"
(She lends to this song to the ad for the British Columbia Animal Rescue group. I can't bear to see the ad again, but here's a link for the group
