My brother did not survive the wait to get back into the #1 spot. Rest

Leslie, it's beyond me how these things can pile up on a person this
way. {{{{{{{More Hugs}}}}}}}

I'm so sorry hun.....

Oh Leslie, I'm already grieving for this darling goldie. The sweetest,
best 'dog' I have ever met. I will always remember her that day we went
to dog-training class, and I 'handled' Missy while you had Simon. She
had that wonderful smile on her face and was bouncing along in front of
me - how could I squash such joy, and try to make her walk to heel.
Remember how the little boy said that I was not very good with Missy?
You will have dozens of such memories.
No words can say ...

news. I'm so sorry for the loss of your brother. There really are no
words that can help. I hope you know you and your family will be in

I know you have given Missy a wonderful life. Your heart is so big for
these wonderful pooches. I hope she will be comfortable as possible and
I am really glad she has had you there for her.
Big hugs for you and hunky Mr. Collins.
