Hey Gen,
I'v been away from my computer since Sat so was hoping for good news.Try to ignore what your daughters friend said,she sounds like an idiot. About a year and a half ago my wife and I had to put our terrier mutt Buddy to sleep.He was 23!We were obviously upst and crying a lot.One of my father-in-laws friends made the comment,"Get over it.It was just a dog." My wife slapped the snot out of him.He looked stunned and my wife said,"You're lucky I did'nt kick you in the #$*&! He did'nt understand that to us Buddy was our child.I really believe SOMEONE that lives near you has him and that youWILL find him.
Come home Cookie...
