Thank you for your kind words, they sure help me a lot, yes i hope i know when , i found it pretty hard with my Ash, i still think today maybe i let him go on too long,one just never knows for certain.

She is one fiesty lil girl, i can tell you, so she still has that in her, until i see that fade away, i think she is here to stay for a while longer yet, it is just the knowing that i am going to loose her, that eats away at me, and makes me so terribly sad., i am also wondering how poor nikkita will cope when Ellie goes, it is her mother, and although she is one mean mother, always attacking her, Nikki still loves her, she is somewhat wary and frightened of her, but they have been together all their lives,I have no idea how it will affect my other sweet girl.

Anyhow i need to think positive and not dwell on the negative, and hope for a good long run with my girl.
