Terri I am very sorry for your loss (CH. Nubian Prince)...............I know how you must feel. This is why I cannot help holding back the tears. You are a great woman who has had a very difficult year. Foremost you lost your husband that you adored. You confided he was not only your loving husband but your best friend. The manner that you expressed yourself about him spoke volumes about you. And now you loose the companion that we all cheered for....................maybe he is in a better place waiting for you to take him for a walk! There will never be another dog that will replace him. But there will come one that will also take a very special part of your heart. I lost a repeat brother of GV Sukkee's Mannix named Sukkee's Wrangler. It was actually owned by a friend (Joe Mier ) but I kept him in my house. He was so very special. He would know what I was thinking....that is how close we were. Then along came my Ande. He now has taken over a special part of my heart. The day that I finished Ande in Orlando, where we used to show Wrangler, I swear that I saw Wrangler written in the sky just as he finished. Please try to be positive and cherish the memories. Nothing helps a heavy heart more than time....... Your friend, Al Pumariega Miami, FL. P.S. I hope that you do not get mad because I sent this to the list. I felt in my heart that I wanted to share my thoughts about you. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sucker-punch spam with award-winning protection.
