Sadness...

It is with great sadness that I write these words to you this afternoon. A very dear friend of mine and a friend to many of you lost her beloved Thor last night. When I first met "Thor-Dog", he was a bundle of love and kisses and often accompanied Sandy and Steve here to The Tree for a quick shopping trip. At times I would go out and bring him a bone, a pat and a quick hello.

The heartbreak and anguish that Sandy and her husband, Steve are experiencing is like nothing else. You see, I have experienced these same feelings personally when I lost my Abby a few years ago. I know that it is never easy and that in the coming days, weeks, months and even years, these same feelings will resurface over and over again.

My hope is that many of you will leave her and thoughts and prayers to help her know that we are here as her friends.
