Pat, Rio is awesome!! And you are a sweet looking lady, but I knew you would be! 8^)

Hope you don't mind me speaking frankly, but you already know this. I thought that you would have lost Jake long before you did. I was dreading the day that I would have to read that his time had come. You've done such a super job with the tribe, I felt as though I knew each of your babies personally. I'm glad that you were able to spend the extra time with Jake. Sadie was a surprise to us all. I was sure she would pull out of it.

Oh dear, not CK? I hope it's still a while before you have to say good-bye to her. Knowing what you do, at least you can cherish your time together.

We've been through this with countless other folks Pat. As much as I ache to be able to offer words of comfort to ease your pain, there simply aren't any. It's not fair that we can't do anything to make the hurt stop. All I can do is lend you and ear and a hug. {{{Pat}}} I'm sure having Rio to divert your attention somewhat will help. I think you made a wise choice by adopting him.

You better hang on to that crate girlfriend, you never know when you might just have to use it. 8^)

I sure would appreciate it if you and the other folks could read all the Pet Loss boards. We have a couple of folks on them that need our support. You know where to find me if you need me.

::I think I have figured this out on the picture. I hope this works. Rio is coming along well. He is such a sweet boy. He is having accidents...but then..he has never been in a house before. He still cries when I am not in the room..but so far has not destroyed anything major while I have been at work. I tried crating him..but he had the howl of death from eight at night until two in the morning. Sophie nor I could take anymore. So...I have a brand new crate if anyone needs one. :-)
:I still miss my babies. I think I will forever and ever. I think I knew Jakes time was coming...but losing Sadie was such a shock. Four thousand dollars..and I still lost her. I still can't believe it. At times...it gets to me and my heart just breaks over and over and over. CK is not doing very well. I know soon..I am going to have to make the decision for her too. I just do not have the heart to do it right now. I hope the picture of Rio and I comes through. Hug all your furbabies for me. The tribe sends paw hugs to all.
:Pat and the tribe..
:Jake, Sadie and Beaus spirits in my heart forever..
