<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Dear Melissa,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I can't imagine what you must be going through with
the loss of both Lucy and Basil in such a short time. I know that my
heartbreak with losing Tucker, Teeka and then Ayla within 4 months of each other
was almost more than I could bear. My tears flowed freely as I wept for
you and the heartache you are feeling.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The story of Lucy and Basil reminds me of "Where
The Red Fern Grows". Lucy and Basil's love was such a strong
bond that Lucy just was not able to go on, no matter how much she loved her
family. I know that Lucy and Basil have been happily reunited. Your
angels will watch over and protect you until your journey on earth comes to an
end and you are once again reunited. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I believe that the love we have for our babies is
never ending. The love surrounds them and lights their journey's way to
the Rainbow Bridge. The hole in our souls is filled with their
memories. The tears we shed provides the healing that holds those
precious memories and the love in forever so they are always with
us. Their is never a love so great that does not cause
pain. Yet the pain caused by love is healed by that same love which
only becomes stronger.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The memory candle was lit and special treats
where given in rembrance and celebration of Lucy's life. Hugs and loving
kisses were given to my babies in honor of the great love that Lucy and
Basil shared.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The gang is sending you Heart Comforting Drool and
Soft Snooters. You are in my prayers. I am grateful that Hank is
there to help comfort you. Very special belly rubs and snooter smooches
are being sent to Hank. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Karen and The Dog House Gang</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>P.S. I tried sending this to your personal
email but it kept bouncing back. I did want you to know that we are
thinking of you.</FONT><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
