Welcome to the Pet Talk.

My name is Stephanie and I just lost one of my dogs as well. Her name was Bailey and she was a 2 and 1/2 year old pit bull/lab mix. She passed away on 2/2/05. Her death was quite unexpected. I am glad you had that extra time to spend with Tristan. He sounds like he was a wonderful part of your family.

We are also thinking about looking for another dog, probably another pit bull mix, as we grew to love the bravery, loyalty, and clownish sweetness of these dogs.

We also have another dog named Guinness. He is a sweet calm Chow/Sheperd mix. He is both a lovebug and protector. Such a joy to have with us, it makes things not quite so awful that Bailey is not with us anymore.

Anyway, I look forward to hearing all about your future addition and your beautiful kitty Teal'c. Ok, but I have to ask...Teal'c? Was he named after the character on Stargate SG-1? (Actually, my favorite character on that show).

Hugs ,

Stephanie
