I just read your posting, but hope you won't mind me also saying that I understand your loss. Thirteen years ago I lost "Chelsea", the Chow Chow, during a time that I was going through so much personal turmoil. Even though she was sick, herself, from cancer, she was still always with me with her warm eyes and comforting presence. To this day, I miss her terrible. I believe in heaven and I know I will see her again!
