I’m Too Sad for a Real Post Today
(www.livelywomen.com) — Last night, I found out that my mom’s dog, the dog I grew up with, died. When she called to tell me, her voice reminded me of the day she called me to tell me that my brother had died. For a heart-stopping moment, I thought something had happened to my other brother. I haven’t managed to shake the feeling yet. Thanks for bearing with me.

I’m sorry for your shock, and for the loss of Rocky. :( I bet he has all the Saltines he can handle now :)
It’s weird - I was compelled to get on Skype last night and look for you, for no other reason than to say hi, but you weren’t there.

Thanks, Cory. I’m going to visit her this weekend and bringing one of my dogs, and it seems like she is really looking forward to it. :)
