Re: Our Beautiful Salome'
Oh, Terri, my heart goes out to you and your husband. I know how loved Salome was and I know what a terrible time this is for your family. I hope it helps to know that others are thinking of you and I hope you can feel some comfort from all your wonderful memories of your beautiful girl. She's surely lounging about on a big, fluffy-puffy cloud looking down on you like the angel that she is. Take care of yourselves.

Re: Our Beautiful Salome'
Yes -- sucks big time doesn't it. I remember when you lost Baby C --- horrible. Dan has been sleeping most of the afternoon -- he works overnights and I am glad that he is resting. He was more inconsolable than I was. I've never seen him so upset. NEVER. We've lost 6 furbabies over the 9-1/2 years of our marriage, and this one hit him the hardest. She was his Big Girl. OK -- I'm starting to get weepy again. =^..^= Terri, Siggie the Tomato Vampire, Guinevere, Sammi, Travis, and 5 furangels: RuthieGirl, Samantha, Arielle, Gareth, Alec Salome' =^..^= Furkid Photos! http://mysite.verizon.net/vze7sgqa/My FeLV Site: http://pages.ivillage.com/ruthiegirl1/MyFeLVinformationSite/My Personal Page: http://www.geocities.com/ruthiegirl1/terrispage.html?1083970447350 - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Friday, September 16, 2005 2:55 PM Subject: Re: Our Beautiful Salome' omg I just relived the pain of losing my Baby C all over again.
