so sorry to hear of your loss.... i feel ya' completely...i grew up in a family with many pets, and know what it's like to lose someone who is considered a member of the family... just yesterday, a friend of mine called me because her dog was killed by a school bus... i dunno what i'd do if my pup had to go to doggie heaven. i'd be devastated. she's the best friend anyone could have...she listens, she doesn't talk back, and she provides the most unconditional love for the smallest price of well-deserved attention. my heart goes out to ya'... :: sending you some positive vibes :: ~posi-vibes~~> ~posi-vibes~~> ~posi-vibes~~>
