You know Tina, sometimes when life in general is getting us down, when we are overwhelmed by setbacks and losses, it tends to cloud all of our perceptions, about how we look, feel, how we THINK others feel about us. I'm so saddened to hear how down you're feeling right now. I know the loss of your beloived Josie was a huge blow and we all were heartbroken for her and for you. And we all will understand if you need to take a break to regroup, to heal. But, I can tell you this, I for one will miss you and very, very much. Seeing pics of the beautiful W. VA. landscape, of adorable Josie and Ginger always brought a big smile to my face and I do care, about you and your precious furbabies. Please believe that. And don't you for one second think that you're a bad furmom; nothing could be further from the truth. You did the right thing by Bandit and I applaud the courage it took for you to come to that decision and act so responsibly.. And one day, when it's meant to be, the right doggie will come along Never forget that you are a cherished PT'er and we are here for you, whenever you're in need of a shoulder to lean on, someone to talk to, a friend to share your feelings with. We're all freinds here and each and every one of us is special. We love you Tiina and eagerly await your return. Email me, PM anytime...I love to get "mail!" BIG hugs to you friend. Love, Sandra
