<DIV>I have been getting caught up on posts from the first of May to present. My
what a lot has happened.....Marlene got a Buppie! So many sad sad losses
too. Llewis really hit me hard. So sorry for everyone's grief and hurt. It's
time to close the gates at the Bridge for a while. It reminds me of a saying I
have posted, which I'm sure many have heard:" It came to me that every time I
lose a dog, they take a piece of my heart with them, and every new dog who comes
into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all
the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving
as they are."</DIV>
