<DIV>I can't believe it has been a week today since we had to let Rocky go to
the Bridge to be with his sister, Lexie, and any of his other llitter-mates that
are there waiting for rest of their family.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I want to thank everyone who has answered in the DD or sent a private
message to me. They mean so much. I fully intend to
thank everyone individually but until I actually do that, I wanted to do
this. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Maddie was missing him so much at first. She was uninterested
in her food and hardly drinking any water so we were getting worried about
her. But yesterday and today she is almost back to
normal. She even yelled at me to get her breakfast this morning -
that was always Rocky's job. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So thank you everyone.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Carol (and Maddie)</DIV>
