Deirdre, was this forum thread yours? If so, I am so so sorry for your loss. I have lost more cats than I care to count and sometimes it has been more painful than my human losses. Most of the losses have been ferals whom I never knew what happened to them. And no one is ever going to bring those home to you...you just have to learn to let go eventually. I'm still working on a few of those...the past year has seen the loss of a lot of ferals, particularly ones I had fixed and to whom I had grown a bit too attached. Only one of them came home to die. I have no idea what happened to her but she managed to climb inside the cat hut on my back porch before she died so at least she was in friendly surroundings when the end came. I hope it gave her some comfort.

Anyway, I'm so glad that the DPW brought Olivia home to you and that you were able to get closure. It's not as comforting as getting your pet back safe and sound but it's better than not knowing and imagining all kinds of horrible scenarios. Voice of way too much experience talking. Be sure to snuggle your GoldenDoodle lots over the coming days and remember all the happy times you had with Olivia during your time together. Tears and hugs and hope. 😻💕🐶
