<DIV>For almost 20 years (can it really be that long?!!?), the Daily Drool
extended family has brought such joy, friendship, and comfort into my
life. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm grateful for all of you! When I lost my dear Duchess ... and then
sweet little Blueberry ... and no-one else really understood the depth of the
grief and emptiness, my DD family did, and embraced me with such strength and
love. In happier times, I have loved every calendar, howliday card
exchange, and secret pawtner. Some of my most treasured memories and
friends come from the DD.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And the way that you have all supported me during these last two years of
difficult health issues -- your e-mails and calls and cards and gifts and
thoughtfulness have buoyed me when I was so sick, and surrounded me with love
and hope. I haven't been able to post much, but please know that you're
all in my thoughts and heart, and I look forward to reading the DD every single
day to still feel a part of your lives (and the lives of all of your treasured
houndies).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So, on this Thanksgiving Day and always, I give thanks for you! Every
one of you! Please give your furbabies extra hugs and tummy rubs and ear
scritches from their Auntie Beth, and enjoy this very special day
together.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Love,</DIV>
<DIV>Beth H. (Duchess ATB and Blueberry ATB)</DIV>
