Date Posted: 16:10:41 08/13/09 Thu In reply to: 's message, "Well I'm in appleton........" on 01:58:28 08/09/09 Sun I assume this message was from Lilirish. Wow, what mixed emotions. First you have a fresh start and then you have the loss of a "member of the family". I say it in that text as that is how I always felt about pets. I am truly sorry for your loss. But it sounds like he was an important part of your life and brought a lot of joy. I hope only for the best from this time forward for you. Good luck on your new adventure and welcome to Wisconsin.
