I am very grateful for the kind words of advice and encouragement that many of you sent. I will probably have her cremated through Buffalo Ridge Animal Clinic since she has been a patient there since we moved to The Villages. Then, we plan to get a nice headstone for her and bury her ashes under the stone in the backyard that she loved so much.
Right now, there is a huge empty space inside me which I'm sure will get worse in the days and weeks to come when I expect to see her happy little face when I come home. I think I will follow MSNPA's advice and start writing a journal about our lives together and what she meant to us. Maybe, that will make her memory live on and bring some comfort to us -- to know that we had her for such a short time, but that she filled that time with love, joy, and companionship, and that she loved me more than any pet I've ever had.
I hope that the story of the Rainbow Bridge is true. I'm going to live the rest of my life believing in it and looking forward to the day that I see Mimi again.
Thanks so much for the words of sympathy and encouragement. Many of you are truly wonderful people.

My sincere condolence to you. Having lost our two Pugs three months of each other last year, I know the sadness and emptiness you are going through.
What sustained us were the wonderful memories and love we still remember from our two babies and knowing they are no longer suffering. You will find Mimi one day at the Rainbow Bridge. Hugs to you...
