Well, yesterday was a very sad day us as we had to say good-bye to our little Welsh Corgi, Tillie. We loved her with all of our hearts and it was a difficult decision to make. Having a pet is very much a two-edged sword because the chances are great that at some point you're going to have to make the decision that we did yesterday. But to avoid that sadness, one must also avoid the joy, love and just plain fun that comes with having a Tillie--or a Rex or a Cooper or a Bella--as a member of your family. So, although I just plain hate what I feel right now, I celebrate the life of one great dog who gave us 12 years of unmitigated joy.

Judy - so sorry to learn of the loss of your pet. It is very hard but remember the joy and love Tillie gave you and you gave Tillie. I had a Tillie, too! She was a little benchleg beagle. You should have seen her pregnant in the middle of winter - her bellie drug the ground and acted like a snowplow.
Thanks, Karen. I guess you should have gotten her a harness!
Judy, I'm so sorry to hear about Tillie. Our pets become such a big part of our lives don't they?
