Minnemthr....as a MOM who has lost my own (flesh of my flesh) daughter at the age of 17 I can say it's NOT the same, though I can only imagine it will be pretty darn close when the time comes to say goodbye to Hope. : ( Not that I want to compare the love I have for my daughter with the love for my puppy, but Hope has brought me so much joy in the short time I've had her and has helped to fill a void my youngest left behind. Praying for safety and protection of all our little ones. Children and Pets! : D |
