Thanks for your kind thoughts, everyone. Will pass along the hugs.

My mom was very upset - she said that this wasn't even their dog, but it felt like it was, kind of, since Sadie and Sam (their dog) were friends/lovers and ran around and did everything together. Mom said she hated to think if something happened to Sam, since she was so upset over Sadie. I hate to think about that too.

Thinking about anything bad happening to anyone or any animal we care about and love is just horrible.
