Dear Yorkie friends,

I honestly don't know where to begin, though if I may, believe I should begin with an apology, I am so sorry, I did so want to reply to each and every one of your heatfelt words of encouaragement, the all encompassing empathy you have shown for Kassie and I, as many of you have experienced, it's very difficult to type through tear filled eyes, add to that, unable to type, well I can use two fingers.

I am, have been in sort of a daze, I guess one could say a mild form of shock, I'm just so over-whelmed with your expressions of love, and concern for a total stranger here, though have come to learn that is the charactoristic of the Yorkie Talk Community, and thankful, grateful to have found you.

Adding to the difficulty of being unable to reply to each one, is I haven't been able to spend much time in here, I pop in, try to reply to one of your post and just haven't been able to remain long enough to answer all the post, as this past wekend we had a Nor'Easter here in Jersey, many areas hit with flooding, and unfortunately my duaghter lives in an apartment complex right on the bank of the Raritan River, needles to say the river over flowed it's banks, and she had to be evacuated along with her precious cat, and they both have been with me until yesterday, when the township gave them the ok to return, and knowing your hearts, may I say, no she didn't suffer any loss physically or materially, the water only got to about 4 feet high at her front porch, so fortunate it didn't enter her apartment, another foot it would have been another story, so friends please don't worry, all is well now.

I'm explaining all this, hoping you undertsand why I haven't replied to all your post, and PM's, it's not that I'm purposely being rude or ignoring anyone, hope that you will forgive me, and be patient with me please, I am going to try and reply to all.

Please allow for my inability to type, check speeling, and just maybe to much yakking, perhaps shed a tear or two, that being so, I am continually being timed out

For the moment, may I sincerely thank you Yorkie friends for all your support, your kindness, and thoghtful words of encouargement, you will never know how humbled I feel.

Thank you very,very much.

Gratefully

Papi
