And I agree with you about always letting the other animals see, instead of waiting and wondering. <br />Extra loving all around til the ache isn't so deep.

I carry water to him every day, 2 x day plus give him grain, cracked corn and hay.<br /><br />Dori, thank you, photography is one of my loves.<br /><br />Diana, a down day on the farm is when I'm not here -grin.<br /><br />Sparky, is there life beyond work? WHO KNEW? Yes, it does seem all I do is work...and then goof off on the computer.<br /><br />Susan B, it's never easy to lose someone, no matter how many legs they have, or haven't, got.<br /><br />Kathy, I hate losing anything or anyone...even when I know it's God's plan, I hate it.<br /><br />Lorraine, thank you; your prayers are appreciated, needed and welcome.<br /><br />Glenda, it's always better, I think, when we get a chance to say good-bye.<br /><br />Roses, bless you for remembering me in prayer; always needed, welcome and appreciated.<br /><br />Jill, remembering you and yours husband in my prayers; God speed on his journey to PA.<br /><br />Lisa, thank you.<br /><br />Paula, all my animals have good lives and now, some of them are with Dave.<br /><br />Patrice, thank you; be careful what you wish for -smile.<br /><br />Marsha, Sophie was a sweet heart; she and I were good for each other.<br /><br />Kathy, hugs and tea are both appreciated.<br /><br />Midlo Mom, yes, she did! And so did I -smile-<br /><br />Grace, I still have two dogs and five house cats so there's plenty of love to go 'round.
