Wow, that's harsh. You have my deepest sympathies, SW. If there's anything worse than having a treasured animal companion die, it is seeing it paralyzed, blinded, or otherwise suffering before it goes.
It may not mean much, but I think that all animals die with pure souls, and that they are bound for a better place. How can a God that forgave mankind of all sins through the sacrifice of His only Son hold animals without true sentience accountable for their actions or inaction, as the case may be?
I pray that your pain might be dulled, and that Screech will find peace in the hereafter until she finds joy when she meets you again.
