Wow...I miss a few days of this thread so much has transpired. Aly, I really think you made the right decision where Nookie was concerned, hard as it was. As much as you loved him and wanted to care for him throughout his illness, it didn't appear he was a good match for the rest of your family. If these people, nasty as they were, cared enough for him to follow thorough with being persistant to get him back there is undoubtably some affection for him. Sounds as if they have the means to continue his medical treatment as well. There are many more babies that need your love and help as Tyler appearing just when he did proves. Yes Tyler does look like a little lamb....Aly's little lamb.
