I am crying..Sweetpea has touched me too!!!
As most people here I have lost a beloved friend & reading Sweetpeas story brings back the sorrow. My Freda went to heaven almost 4yrs. ago at the ripe old age of 17yrs. Even now my sadness lingers but the joy of the memories of her, help the pain go. You are in my thoughts today, Sweetpea & your human Mom & thank you for your information on these deadly creatures. We were planning a trip to Florida & our new baby, No No Nicky Bad Boy, is going to accompany us. I appreciate the warning.
