You have no idea how comforting it is to read all of your comments. <br /><br />Pets always manage to weasel their way into the deepest fiber of our hearts. It's the unconditional love, their funny/quirky/bizarre behavior and their little (or very big) personalities. <br /><br />I want to thank you all for your comments.

I adopted her when she was about 3 yrs old. She was with me through quite a few moves and a messy dissolution and for most of that time, it was just the two of us. Unconditional love... they have it and we're lucky to be the recipients of it. I adopted another shelter dog last November and she's a sweetheart (in my profile pic :) I can't imagine not having an animal aorund. When you're ready, I hope you'll bring another furbaby (or shelled, or scaled, or whatever) into your home :)<br /><br />xox<br />JJacksonstathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074361689565068951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325136241555317156.post-494757528038637032010-10-29T13:18:06.652-04:002010-10-29T13:18:06.652-04:00((hugs)) I'm so sorry for your loss.
