Hi Mellie - Again, thank you for taking the time to help me. I truly appreciate your encouraging words and helpful information. I will try to come to terms with this loss and I recognize that so many others, such as yourself, have had great losses also. I guess I did all that I could. I don't know how you have dealt so well with two losses this year. You will probably always remember 2005 as a sad year.
Someone told me that they became so sad from the loss of their pet that they vowed never again to get another pet...they could not bear going through such sadness again. Thankfully we don't all feel that way or there wouldn't be any hope for the many homeless pets. Sharing my story with you has truly been like bereavement counseling to me....again, thank you.
