Sorry about your doggie friend nancia - pets are extra special as they give unconditionally; it's been several years since I had to put down my goldens - Shadow's Shy Boy Skeeter (call name Skeeter) had to be put down one day before his 10th birthday and my adopted baby Putz was estimated to be 11 or 12; our vet and his staff cried both times - both dogs had health issues and were frequent visitors to the vet's office; to this day I still miss them and will shed a few tears thinking about them. They become family members through and through.
NOW ONTO A HAPPY NOTE.....doing the happy dance as I was the recipient of jaba's beautiful fractured butterfly quilt; photos don't do it justice; colors are bright and alive. I can't wait for our tropical summer party. I'm one lucky girl as I have received several of jaba's projects - she does such beautiful work. Thanks again Jan.
