[Rhodes22-list] Gracie is Gone With The Wind

[Steven Alm]

Hi Brad,

Many of us including me know what you're going through and we're 
terribly sorry.  I've spent very little time on this earth without a 
dog or two padding around the house and I know your next dog will be 
just as beloved.  Mourn as long as you need and then do some very lucky 
puppy a favor and adopt it.  He or she is sitting in a damp cage right 
now waiting for you.  Sorry if I sound like the guy on the "Save the 
Children" commercial but it's the best medicine because you feel better 
right away.

BTW, I love watching "the Dog Whisperer" on the National Geographic 
Channel.  Great philosophy for dog owners.

All the best for a great 2007 for you and your family, Brad.

Slim
