I didn't write the e-mail, but I feel sorry for you, your wife, and the poor person that did write it. Everyone that has loved an animal knows the heartbreak of having to lose one. Surely you must know that no one on this forum would deliberetly cause you pain. Maybe they just hadn't read your last few posts, we all miss some sometimes. please accept our prayers and wishes of comfort. I know you would be welcome to post anytime, and maybe you would have words of comfort to give someone facing what you went through after time eases your pain a little. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.
