Julie,
I am glad to hear the good news about Hope
and also the news of Maya & Chris...
I want to offer my sympathy in the passing
of your dog Max. I am so very sorry...
As you said, we know in our minds that they
will not live as long as we want them to,but
it's still a shock to the heart when they
leave us...I hope Max did not suffer, and
know that his spirit will be with you forever
You & your husband are in my prayers.
Please take good care of yourself...
