great thread villette,
I have only been here a little while, I stumbled across this site before i picked dixie up, when i was looking for info on care of yorkies. We had a dalmatian (he was 12 when he passed, we got him at 6 months) that had epilepsy and was on meds for years with no seizures, till he had the worst seizure out of the blue i ever saw, the vet suggested we put him to sleep, that they willonly get worse

we had him put to sleep, that was many years ago and very hard to do. we couldnt let him live with seizures again. we were a no dog house for many years. and thought it is time to add to our family, we needed a new pet to love and spoil. I learned so much already, I ve done alot of crying this week reading threads, especially the r.i.p. section madda

and all the others who passed
and josie being lost .
weather it be learning, crying, and laughing, this site is great no matter what anyone says about it, I would just ignore those people who dont really know what goes on here, the feelings, the help, the info. I feel like i have a ton of new friends who dont even know me....yet!
every spare moment i am here reading the threads. so much to read and learn.
i love it here. you all make it a great place to spend my free time.
thank you for being here , elaine
