I saw somewhere on the list where someone was upset with the airlines, I think, because they were not always efficient and she was trying to "run an INDUSTRY" shipping dogs. That really upset me even though I realize that folks must earn a living doing whatever they do best. However, I looked over at my "industry" who returned my gaze with total devotion, got up, walked over and surprised me with a great big SCHLURP from chin to forehead. Quite recently l held in my arms two of my dear, old "industries" as they crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I grieve and remember all the gifts they gave me over the years. I know--Different strokes for different folks! Marion Nielsen Halwend@xxxxxxx ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
