Thanks, Andy. That’s very sweet. You give lots of love to that Winnie. We miss ours, but she had a great life.

I am _so_ sorry to hear that. I immediately had to go in the other room, scoop up my own Winnie, and give him a long hug. He’s only seven, but he’s got heart problems, so we always wonder if each new year with him will be our last. Thankfully he’s doing really well, but you never know. And I worry how our little Dizzy would handle life without his big brother.

Say strong – we’re thinking of you….

I want to thank all of you who posted about Winnie. It’s been almost two weeks now, and I seem to have settled. My mind has separated the fact of Winnie’s death from the manner in which she died, and oddly, I’m finding solace in Annie and Woofie. I’m probably going to write more in depth on this blog, but I really want to thank each of you. Your words meant a great deal to me. Both here, and in private e-mails, you shared words of comfort, similar stories, and memories of Winnie. I’d forgotten her strange fondness for raw vegetables – even mushrooms. You made me cry and smile. That was a great help. I didn’t have many of your e-mail addresses, so I hope you read this and know how much I appreciate your caring.

My mom posted about it on my dad's blog, too. I'd forgotten all the circumstances surrounding her entry into our lives. What an angel she was.

Oh, I am so sorry. That is always so tough. So sad!
