Thanks again for the understanding. Only other dog moms and dads can know what it is like to lose the love of a pet. A lot of people say (and think) "it was just a dog". But then, I have a bumper sticker that reads "the more I am in the company of people, the more I appreciate my dog!" That pretty much sums it up for me. I was at the Western Reserve Kennel Club show in Cleveland at the holidays and I saw a T-shirt that read "Some people should not breed". I tend to agree with that. I always find that when I meet new people, interestingly, the people who are dog parents are the ones I am most drawn to and stay friends with. Glad to be among YorkieTalk folks and I am going to try and get pics of my Jasper up by next week. Garcy
