We asked for cremation.
Assume they'll do that and charge us more.
I can't get my head around the fact they've sent me this invoice having left her alone for 12 hours, lying on newspaper, just to tell us she had passed away.
Obviously the money isn't an issue, just not what I wanted to see when I got home.

I've tried to not say anything derogatory re: your whole situation re the care side of things but this is awful, I am so sorry you have had this bill when you haven't even had her back home yet.
If you have it in you I'd complain about that. I know if it were me I would. Can I ask did she have any blood tests etc, how did they confirm Parvo as the cause of her illness?

I wish I could say more but I can't, it won't bring her back and I can't say that anything done differently would have saved her. But believe me when I say I feel truly upset for what you are having to deal with right now and please do not blame yourselves. Take Care and please pass on my deepest sympathies to your partner.

The only thing done differently in the last couple of weeks was me taking her for a walk somewhere she'd never been before.
I'll kick myself for a long while thinking about that.
We always do I'll kick myself for a long while thinking about that.
. I fought a 6 month battle to try and save my Jimmy (in vain which I always knew) and yet still feel I missed opportunities/ treatments to help him or maybe by some miracle find a treatment.I wish I could say more but I can't, it won't bring her back and I can't say that anything done differently would have saved her.

Genuinely don't know what I'd do if this were my dog. Poor Rosie. From the look of what you've posted, though, I bet she was having fun in every one of those 5,000 photos, which has to count for something. Yes, she's left you too soon, but she probably chased more sticks and ran after more exciting smells in those eight years than some dogs would in sixteen. Were she able, I'm pretty sure she'd give you a lick on the hand for that.
