<DIV>The house seems so empty even though there are still 4 bassets in it.
Sonny is pretty depressed, picks at his food and wants constant attention.
Lokipuppy is sticking close to me as is Crackers. </DIV>
<DIV>I want to thank everyone for your messages of comfort and care. It has
really helped me and I will answer you all individually once some of the
pain leaves.</DIV>
<DIV>I realized how powerful drool is when I arrived at Portland Airport to
begin my flight home. On Sun when I logged in to change my flight reservations,
I got the flights I wanted and an aisle seat on each one. No problem. When
I arrived at the gate, the sign said "full flight, no seat changes". It
said the same thing at the gate in Minneapolis. I think the drool enabled
me to be able to get home quickly to be with Spanky and made certain that
seats were "saved' for me to do so. I can think of no other explanation. </DIV>
