Thanks from us both for the compliments

What had happened w/her was I had gone into a pet store one evening on my way home from school for bowls for my other girl (mixed breed

), Casey. I had NO idea they actually had LIVE animals! Ah, my heart broke when I saw her, then asked to hold her, and you know the rest of the story & we've not looked back.
And, Pips w/the ball (and,especially her "Flippy-Flopper" frisbee)... I throw them for an hour at the park & she STILL wants to play at home!
She's helped me more than I have words to explain in recovering from the loss of my girl, Casey. It's sad, b/c she still looks for her, too... The only BAD things about dogs is saying goodbye

Thank god for our dogs! (& I'm not at all religious)
