This thread has so much emotion... joy and happiness for new pets and best friends, and then the next entry so much sadness. You are in my thoughts, Invsblwmn... it is just heartbreaking to lose a pet friend. Obviously you gave Brodie a long, love-filled life. That is what they are for, and for all the love and happiness they give back (who could deny the happiness in TxDoc's photos?! ).

Invsblwmn.. I hope you get to where you can remember Brodie in those happier days.
