Jen, I was thinking of writing a post just like this. It is so hard on me to read of these sad happenings, but it is important to give support - I know I'll be needing it someday myself.

Wit the pictures and posts about everyone's pets, I feel I know them and I grieve when I hear the bad news (that has been coming way too often these days, it seems).

I am touched by the outpouring of care and concern that comes from the people here in these difficult circumstances.
