Way, way off topic..

Thanks for the sweet notes. I can't tell you what a blessing these two are. ..
A friend of mine ended her life this weekend, leaving a daughter without a mother and a whole bunch of us grieving anf wondering why she couldn't let us help her. Spending the days walking around in a stupor, then come home to two little embodiments of joy -- two destructive, messy, disobediant embodiments of joy. I'm sure those of you with kids feel that very thing many times over; that's the way these two can just save my butt and remind me there's plenty of joy in life if we reach for it.

Call me a sappy mess, but man, it's true!

I want to say thank you for adopting those two great looking pups. I was in the process of adopting a dog from hurricane katrina when the area I live in was hit by hurricane rita. So, I have been very concerned that those animals that were in my area from Katrina might not have found homes. I hope once my house is put back to right that I might go back and see if I can adopt a pup. So, o-y-l thanks again for opening your home to some homeless puppies.

Very sorry to hear such sad news about your friend, O-Y-L. Animals are such a great comfort in hard times. Sending loving energy to all who are quaking with such a loss. llb
