Slick, I'm really sorry to hear that. I was hoping we could all support you and help you through this. Please pm or email me, ok? I wish you well, friend.

Ever since I read this post, earlier this morning, and emailed you, I have had you on my mind, Vickie. Darn it, we are ALL, right here, in your court, and you don't have to post "happy" anything to us, nor do you have to post at all. What you do is certainly your private business, right now, as you are under more stress than most of us will ever experience in our whole lives. What is important to me, and I'm sure to others, is that you know you have the support and love of many friends here at Pet Talk.

Please know that we will continue posting to you on this thread, whether you read it or not, and know that we love you, completely, even with all of our own issues going on. Your issue is at the forefront of our minds. You have been a good friend to us and we want to share that back with you. I know, in my heart, that you know that.

Much love to you, Vickie.........come back, when you are ready, but in the meantime, you can expect this thread to grow and grow, because we are going to forget that you said you were leaving Pet Talk, and when you come back, your eyes are going to be so tired and your heart is going to be so full!!!!!

Love,
Logan, Honey, Lilly, Mack, Butter, Roger, Milly and Otto

I second that!

Come back if you feel ready, we'll keep you in our thoughts!!!

Best wishes for your surgery,
Kirsten

Couldn't have said it better, MOFF.

Slick said she'd leave PT for a while! I think she needs some time to relax and get prepared for everything that goes on. However, I'm sure Slick will still appreciate our good wishes and e-mails, so let's keep them coming and not expect a reply. I'm sure Slick will be back!

Slick, I hope you've have stopped working and are winding down now - know that you're in my thoughts every single day. I just tried to call you, but the phone was busy. I'll be in contact.

We all love you!!

((((((((hugs))))))))

Thank you Randi. This is exactly what I need.....some quiet time and some time to rethink my priorities. Thanks to those who have emailed and PM'd and left phone messages. I just need some time away right now and I thank you for understanding. Gini will post an update after my surgery.

Slick, your post this afternoon has made me feel considerably better.

I truly do understand..........you mentioned a long list of things you wanted to accomplish prior to your surgery.

All of us in our own way are very sensitive to you right now - we all care a great deal and each will show that in a different way.

You have a ton of friends here who care about you far more than you could ever imagine.

I, as always, will be glad to do anything that I can to help. But, at the same time, I realize, that I need to respect your privacy.

But, sometime in the future, I am looking forward to picking you up at the airport - and you will be wearing something absolutely outrageous and I will have to try to act normal. (whatever normal for me is)

I want you to be able to swim with the dolphins, and so help me, if you rent a dolphin costume - I will bring a tub of water to the airport.

Quiet time is definately understandable and I'm glad to here your taking time for yourself. You know if you need anything you only have to ask. Take good care of yourself. {{{{HUGS}}}
