Hello Everyone

...crawling out from under my rock. Thanks so very much to everyone for your very kind and caring words of support as I have struggled through these past few days with the loss of my beloved collie, Sophie. Like the body, the human spirit is a remarkable thing and heals itself with time and TLC. Although I am still terribly, terribly sad and miss her so very much, the ache is subsiding. Thanks for being there. And by the way, GREAT SG meeting last night at Middlesex! We had a substantial crowd that generated a lively exchange of information and ideas between us all. That's good support! Thanks again, everyone. Take care, Maureen

Hi, So sorry about your pup. I cannot even imagine losing my dog. I'm glad that you are healing. It sounds like you're still focusing on being productive. That was a great meeting. You are a wonderful speaker and I'm not kidding. You are such an inspiration. I think the group could have gone on longer. I take so much from the meetings. Thanks for sharing your story. jen

So sorry to hear about the loss of your pup. They are our children and we never get over losing them. I lost my Beagle Molly last November and I think about her every day. Take Care, Julio

Hi Maureen...I'm so sorry about the loss of your Sophie...I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off and haven't been on to read the boards..... It is so great that you and your hubby had the chance to 'reconnect' during your vacation...every marriage needs that from time to time....I imagine moreso after such a dramatic change in yourself....physically and mentally. Its great to hear you had a wonderful trip....AND a safe return..I really look forward to seeing you again.....YOU ARE SUCH AN ISPIRATION!
