Don....Sorry to here about your Scooter. No need to be embarrassed about the posting. We are all friends here, and any hurt you have makes as feel bad, also. Have had a couple pets that passed on, and as much as we hate to admit it sometimes, we get attached to them almost as much as kids. Had a parakeet once that flew into a ceiling fan. My wife was so attached to her, that we spent $350 trying to heal it up. Didn't work, but it's hard to give up. Hang tough!
