Pets really do become part of the family, unfortunately because their life span is so much shorter on the average of peoples we tend to loose them so quickly. They bring a lifetime of joyous memories to which we can only say thank you to our furry little friends and hope that we had made their exsistence in this world as pleasent as they have made ours. My most heartfelt condolences to you and your family for your loss. Sargon
