<DIV>Bert and Sally, I am so sorry to read about Browser leaving for the
Bridge. 14 is a wonderful age for a basset. My Charlie was just a
month shy of 14, but his leaving tore my heart out. So I know how you feel
about Browser. It must have awful to lose him after going through the
hurricane. Now he is no longer blind and back to his old self,
running free up there. I am sure he is looking down on you from up there,
hoping that you will dwell on all the happy times together and not his
passing. It is hard, but remembering the good times does help.
I will keep you both in my in my prayers and Millie will be sending some
of her special drool your way to help ease the pain.
Please accept my sincere sympathy on your loss. </DIV>
