Thank you so much for your posts. I discovered this newsgroup in the
last few weeks and want you to know your posts are appreciated!
I particularly liked "Rise Up Slowly, Angel." I lost my "Angel" in
May.

We had to have our Sophie put down yesterday, it leaves such a huge hole in
your life and she was such a good dog. She was in great distress though, and
she did go peacefully loving everybody to the end. I hope it's gotten a bit
better for you, and ((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))

Thank you. It's been 4 months now since I put my kitty of 16 years to
sleep, and things are better, though you never get completely over it.
My heart goes out to you. I know it is very difficult to put down a
beloved pet.
