I'm very sorry to hear that. Prayers on the way. I can't grieve over a dog because I know there are dogs needing homes at the Animal Shelter. The guilt overrides the grief every time.

Thanks for the prayers, AP, and I respect your position vis-a-vis grief. I may be visiting the SPCA to see who needs a home soon. In the meantime, I phoned my vet to let them know that if there's an animal in need of a home, I know where there's a home in need of an animal. We'll see.
