Mary, I am so sorry for your loss of Ted E. Bear. What a sweet little guy he was. Last night must have been extremely difficult for you. You fought hard to give him what he needed through his many challenges. I know he appreciated that and paid you back with all his love. Please feel free to post or pm us if you need to talk. There will more than likely be some rough spots ahead. I was pretty much a crazy person after my Bailey and Tizzie went to the RB.

Laura, that poem is one I have not seen before. How well it speaks to not only Mary but many of us who have been in the same situation at one time or another. Thank you for sharing it.
