<DIV>Dear Melissa, How terribly sad to read the Lucy has gone to join her
beloved Basil. How heartbreaking to lose two precious houndies in two
weeks. You must just be beside yourself with grief. So fast.
It is unbelievable. You have my deepest sympathy on your terrible
loss. I have a candle lit as I type. I do not have words enough to
tell you how I feel. My guys will be sending you some of their special
healing drool to hopefully help ease your pain over your loss. I will keep
you all in my prayers. Now you have two sweet babies watching over you
from their clouds, wanting you to remember all the happy times had
together. I lost my dear Cheyene last June very suddenly and do
know what you are going through. I do feel your sorrow. Again, my
most sincere sympathy on your loss.</DIV>
