thanks all.
and lapsy, i pray that everything is ok with you, and i'm real sorry about your loss.
although i am an extreme leftist, socialist liberal, i'm also a very religious catholic, and it's helped for me to know that Coco is in heaven right now.

pope john paul the second made it clear that our furkids will live a perfectly happy life in heaven, and saint francis of assisi, may He always be remembered, would always talk to animals about how they should love god, so they can get a piece of heaven and live a happy life. he wrote a lot about how great of a place heaven would be, which really helps me understand that coco is very happy, and that i will see her one day again.
