<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Dear friends<BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Only now I'm having the courage of reading all the
emails we received when Xaxá was sick. If I didn't thank you, please apologise
us. It was a very hard time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>By that time I felt so loved by so many of our
friends droolers. People I never met in person but who cared a lot. One of you
was the one who found the special heart doc, I don't remember how you call this
kind of vet but is like a specialist to human dogs.This doc gave Xaxá
almost 4 more months, 3 of them really quality days. Only in the end of february
he started to get worse again but even so, the doc was amazed at Xaxá's health,
at almost 15 years old.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I still cry most of the time I talk or write about
him, because I miss him so much and because the end, even with a compassionate
doc, in our home, Xaxá in his prefered bed, well, it hurst and feel like you are
killing your best friend.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Well, the tears are too many, so that's all for
now. I'm becoming strong because afterall, that's the circle of life. But it is
definitly not easy and it's sad. I believe the oposite of when a puppy is born
and everybody is happy.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I am sending drool to all who need.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Love</FONT></DIV>
