Your grief is much fresher than mine. It is not necessary to meet an animal to love it. I am amazed that some of these "shelters" are so careless with the lives of sick/challenged animals. How awful for the original caretaker too. First to be put in a nursing home then to have your friends killed for no reason. On Aug 30, 2008, at 8:26 PM, Kelley Saveika wrote:
