<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been truly overwhelmed by all the messages
that I have received and that have been posted in the DD
newsletters.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I will read and reply to every last one, but it may
take me a week or so. I can only read and reply to so many at a time
without the tears .....and then I can't type at all.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was truly blessed when I adopted Gina from
Tri-State in November 2003. She was a challenge from day 1, she ruled with
an iron paw, and I loved every bone in her body with my whole heart. We
were together 24/7 for over 5 years, if she couldn't go somewhere I didn't
go. The few times I had to go somewhere without her she had a
sitter.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just want everyone to know how much I appreciate
all the love that has been shown to me over the past few days.</FONT></DIV>
