Hi Karen,

Oh my gosh!!! Thursday April 3 was the happiest day of my life. I signed on to the computer that overcast morning and what smiled back but the picture of my Emmy! It was a total suprise. I was the happiest "MOM" on cloud nine.

Today, a week and a day later I found Pet talk. For 11 months every day, I have been checking for Em's picture and never knew about this part!

Also today I read your message about Cody and I burst into tears. The poor women at my office came running and didn't know what to think as I stared at my computer screen! I am sooo sorry to read about Cody. It's funny how such a wonderful day can suddenly turn blue. Please know that even though I have never met you, you have touched a place in my heart, both you and Cody. I hope as each day passes the pain will be less and less. Words can not express how much sorrow I feel for you. I am so glad Emmy was the DOTD, as she was smiling for you and letting you know everything is going to be alright.

Hugs to you,

Love Laurie and Emmy
