70. omg.

I just got up and took a look at this thread. Thankyou so much everybody. I cannot express how much I appreciate all your thoughts, hugs, & prayers.

My husband said to me thismorning... it's so weird feeding only one dog. Olivia, has a bone in the house thismorning. Normally it wasn't allowed because she'd fight with Allie over it. She keeps moving a carpet that was covering a floor grate, it was there because Allie was affraid of the floor grate. It's like she knows it doesn't need to be there anymore.

[Eurobabe]

71. Condolences Maine-ah, RIP Allie

It's never easy to let them go. :hug:

[Connonym]

72. I'm so sorry

She's beautiful. I know it's one of the hardest things to do and I'm sorry. :hug:
