I give heartfelt acknowledgement to the following for taking the time to send me their own special messages:

LottoVantage - Thank you for those very kind words.  I felt the sincerity of your words,  knowing what you went through with your beloved wife.

Konane -  As always, you're there.

Gentlespirit - Thank you for wishing me  a happy birthday!  And yes, I have so much love to give, even as I still grieve for Myu-myu.

Justxploring - I find comfort in your words.

Lottomike - Thank you for your concern.  If I recall, you have a pet dog yourself.

Bye now.  Hope to see you again.
