Thank you, all, who took the time to send me your thoughts and condolences = over the loss of my "Buddy". It's been almost a week since we lost him = but it takes way longer than that to stop missing a Buddy of 12 years. I'm so happy, though, to keep him with me in my heart and through his = offspring - kids, grandkids, and great grandkids.
