That's okay eggplantlife. I miss threads a lot!! I'm sure you're still missing your doggie daughter and will for quite awhile. I'm sorry things have gotten worse after your move and ended up not going the way you had planned. We never know what the future holds. Don't give up in not ever seeing her again. Maybe a way will open up. I can't give up on my kitties, either, although it's likely they have passed away somewhere since December. I've still got my signs up because, well, they're not back yet... Their lives are short, yes. My Tadpole, one of my lost, will be 10 now. Next month I would have him for 10 years. My husband brought him home as a scraggly little stray. I can't tell you how much I miss him, think of him daily, wonder what became of him. The last day in our house before the fire he had taken a nap with me. I would love to just hold him again. He was such a ball of fur. I keep thinking 10 years is too old for a cat to be lost. Hopefully something will happen for you. Don't give up.
