Bob, thank you for your kind words. I'm overly sensitive right now because I can't stop crying about my dogs. Buddy, Ralph and Maggie were a beloved part of my family for many years--Buddy and Ralph were badly abused before we got them. Buddy only had three legs, amputation caused by severe abuse, saved his life--Ralph was left without food or water plus he had valley fever when the previous owners moved without him. All three were very close to each other, never left in a kennel--my mom dog sat--and had wonderful lives. My students adored Buddy, although they called him "tripod" or "fraction"--he visited my classroom with a large bow at Christmastime. Buddy died after cancer surgery two years ago, Maggie was hit by a car (recently) and Ralph died in his sleep (a few days ago). Just devastating.

Both you and I work for Midwest Gaming & Travel, an excellent publication, so I want us to like/respect each other. I'm really looking forward to meeting you and Shirley one day. Linda

Linda,

I'm usually a lurker, but I was touched by the story of your dogs that you recently lost and wanted to extend my sympathy. Pets ARE members of the family. I am a "cat person" and lost 3 of mine right in a row awhile back and can relate to how devastating it can be. Keep your chin up.
