<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000080>I understand exactly how you are
feeling. Our beloved Bodie succumbed to CHF 2 years ago. He was
holding his own against the disease, frankly doing well. One evening he
went outside to potty and died in the backyard. I found him right
after he died...he looked like he had just lay down to take a nap. My
only comfort is that I know he didn't suffer. Sis and I buried him in the
backyard and we now have a beautiful bird feeding station there and in the
summer, we have spectacular sunflowers growing around it. I'm SO sorry for
your loss. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>There is much sadness in my heart. My sweet girl, Samantha is
gone. She<BR>had CHF and did Ok for 1 year and 9 months. But this
week her beautiful<BR>heart just couldn't keep going. She was my first
basset. She was the<BR>sweetest girl and my loving friend. I pray
she and Ben are together and<BR>will wait until we are together again.
Samantha Sweet, mommy misses you, I<BR>love you little
girl.<BR><BR>Sue<BR>Abigail, Bonnie and Tanner<BR>Ben ATB(3/31/05)and Samantha
