Oh if I ever see a rerun of the "That's My Baby" show on Animal Planet where a litter of abys is being born I must tape it and send it to you! You will absolutely die! They were so precious!

My Whitney (standard poodle) died in the winter (February 1st, 1996) and we so much wanted to bury her in the yard but it was just not possible. I am glad that you got to do that for Mandy and, I for one, do not think it is strange at all!
