How can I possibly explain that "I'm hurting for someone whom I've never met and lives miles away who has her precious pet in for sir jury and I've never met the pet either and I only know them from a website called Pet Talk"..... It just wouldn't fly and that's why I've never told anyone around me about PT.

In my tenure here at Pet Talk, I've come to care very deeply for the people and their pets and here I am crying again.......for someone and her pet that I've never met.

What a community we have here!!!

My cheque was mailed today Jess.

I have a pet-friendly team at work - between 9 nurses, we have 7 dogs, 12 cats, a bunny, birds and fish. I have told Raven's story to them, and asked that they pray; I've just started by saying "I have a friend whose dog has cancer in her mouth..." How could I explain to these people I work with every day, that this is someone I know only from a pet Web site? I didn't even try.

Welcome home, beautiful Raven! I have been thinking about you all day and I thought I would check in tonight for the latest update. I liked the photo of Tash, Tommy and Raven resting on the bed. You all take good care. I hope the recheck on Friday brings a good report. [[hugs]]
