Oh, Joan. I know you understand and am deeply grateful for your lovely, heartfelt response. I know that God will send me the right little dog at the right time; it's funny how you "knew" you'd never get a male dog because that is exactly how I feel now...knowing however, through you, that might change! Piper was just always so "there" for my, physically and emotionally and always--room-to-room, anxious and happy to see me come home. (all the dang time) Your words, kindness, compassion and understanding mean everything, truly. And you help, you help me very, very much. Big smooches for your little guy; I still believe Cody and Piper were separated at birth as their attitudes, nuances, behaviors--well, just crazy similar! Thank you and know that although we've never met, I love you as I would a lifelong friend. |
