Oh Aly, oh no. Not you!!! All of your beautiful work, gone. But those pictures; especially of Harley, Julius and Dessi. I am speechless, AND in tears for you. All of your shelter work. Aly, writing all those breed descriptions; answering all those FAQ's. That's tantamount to a thesis. Was any of it saved onto a CDR or diskette? Had you printed any of it out yet? I hope you have most of your pics on film negatives. Pictures are irreplaceable. I don't know what to say, except that I'm so, so sorry. It's not quite as bad. But I lost months of work on my final college paper through my computer. I've learned since then to either copy every page of truly important work, or save it on a disk. People like this truly deserve the severest of punnishments; it is nothing less than criminal-as in jail time!!!!!!! I know the thought of starting over on your work is daunting. Try and take it a little at a time. I wish I could help you! I'd write volumes for you. Just ask me; HONEST!!!!!

I know it must dampen your otherwise happy news. Lolly has a home! I want to feel so happy for you and her. I hope that the status quo is maintained and she stays on her best behavior so that you can keep her FOREVER!

Oh Aly, doesn't it seem sometimes the most wonderful, special, people get the biggest tests in life??? I know Logan has some wise words about that!

If I can help you in any way with the paperwork end of it, (I'll write the lab description ) anything at all, let me know. And again, I'm so thrilled for Lolly. I know you're terribly stressed right now, and I hope the new adoption won't be too much for you. Lolly couldn't find a better home.
Love, Sandra
