Oh John, I'm so sorry that Precious has gone to the Bridge. They really do leave an empty space in our hearts, don't they? So she was a deaf girl, just like my little Creamsicle. You'd never know it and I'm sure the same was true of your Precious. They don't let anything stop them from enjoying life, especially when they know how well they're loved. Precious knew that she meant the world to you and just b/c she isn't here in the flesh and fur doesn't mean that she isn't nearby. They're always w/us; I'm convinced of that. RIP, sweet Precious and peace to you and your wife, John.
