I never asked for anyone to agree with our decision. I never asked to explain what happened either. I wanted it left alone and that couldn't be done. That is what hurts. I can't stress this enough.

Now, please, please respect me and my family and leave it alone. I have had very sweet messages from people and I am very happy about that. I might just take a break for awhile, but still "lurk". I don't know.

Also, a few have requested to hear about Bodie. For obvious reasons I'm leary about that. He is so hard NOT to share. But, I know some will be thinking in the back of their minds about Maddie though, and why do we have new dog now. Again, it's our business and we had our reasons and we, above all, both love animals. Very much. Maddie is always on my mind too but I am okay now because I know she is taken care and in a good home.

Thanks to everyone who wrote to me and posted here. I really appreciate that and it won't be forgotten.
