No wonder I didn't see you in your 60's attire. You were dealing with your beloved dog! So sorry to hear about that, and also glad that now all seems okay. It is so hard when a pet is ill, because you can't explain anything to him. It is doubly hard when you are feeling guilty besides.
We oblivious smokers choose to deny alot of realities as part of our addiction. Although I never smoked in the house (unless my husband was gone overnight and I thought I could cover it up), I smoked alot in our old car. I subjected my dog to smoke and a husband who (not a smoker) doesn't have good lungs because of asthma as a kid. But did that stop me? Nope. I went merrily along, rationalizing my behavior that I did lots of other things right.
Part of that rationalizing is TRUE, though. I am sure that you and Pete gave and are giving JR a wonderful life. He probably would forgive you, if he could. Hope you forgive yourself.
Love, Carole
