Robyn, like others have said, I am very glad to have been able to offer some comfort and condolences to you in such a tragic time. Dale was just so young and vibrant, it was such a shock. I too still think of you and your family often. I'm very gladdened to hear you will, when the time is right, add another pup to the household. Of course we know no dog will ever replace Dale. Though I believe you will eventually grow to love another dog just as deeply, the bond with Dale will always be unique and never to be repeated exactly. That is how I feel about my RB boys too. I love my two now just as deeply, but the bonds are each unique and different.

Thanks for stopping in and writing, as I have wondered how you have been. {{hugs}} to you
