One of my crew wore her Jayne hat today, just for me. Shh, don't tell anyone, she's my favorite.
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

bonny, I was so terribly sad to read your post. Bartleby will be missed by this whole community. You shared your joy and sadness with us and I think we all felt like we knew him. His love for you brightened all our days. May he rest easily, having known so much love in his life.

Shh, don't tell anyone, she's my favorite.
Well, duh! She's my favorite too and I didn't even know she existed until one minute ago.

Bonny - so sorry for your loss. You did everything you could to save Bartleby, and let him go rather than letting him suffer past his time. He will live in your heart forever.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So sorry, Bonny. You gave him such love and joy his whole life and you kept giving right to the end. Please take care of yourself and let those close to you take care of you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Bonny, you did exactly the best thing, and you did it for him. You are not going to feel much else other than sorrow and grief for the next while, but you should feel proud that you lived up to your responsibility as a pet owner and treated him humanely. And that is what he wanted from you. For you to be the best owner you could be.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Woman walks onto a work site wearing a hat like that, everybody knows she ain't afraid of nothing.

Exactly, WS!

Puppy Boy is also a big geek and Firefly fan, but she's stepping up as a leader, is hella funny, and wears funky socks. So she wins.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
bonny, I am so sorry for your loss. You may have been blessed with Bartleby in your life, but I can certainly see that he was so damn lucky to have you, too. You did whatever was needed to take care of him. Please take care of yourself while you grieve. Much strength and peace to you.
