Karen - so sorry to hear your sad news and that you must deal with that tough situation with your SIL. Never easy!

Victor - that is so sad to hear about a 19-year-old with such a challenge! Hope things turn around for him!

Jen - ugh, ugh, ugh! That's all I can say! So sorry you had a tough entree into Valentine's Day! Poor little puppy......I'll bet he was more stressed than anyone!

Our 21 year old, very sweet neighbor cat, Hillary (who was the nicest cat I've ever known) was put to sleep today, and I am very sad. She would always make a bee line for us when we walked by "her sidewalk" where she lived each morning when we walked. I said a very tearful goodbye to her yesterday, and as always, she responded very sweetly to my gently scratching her. Hank too had a really tough time saying goodbye to her. She had begun to go downhill the last week and she had stopped eating. She wasn't coming out to meet us all week, but would respond when I petted her. She did not have the easiest life, living on a sidewalk, but she had lots of dignity and I will surely miss her.
