Anne-Marie:

Wow, your words really touched me. You are absolutely right about everything you said. The day my dad started his Erbitux last July, we came home and I let their dog out and she ran outside and we believe she had a stroke or heart attack. I looked up into the sky and I asked GOD why why now! The best dog, she was like a person. My poor dad didnt even realize what had just happened. I know my mom misses her dog. She was a huge part of our family. As far as another pet, I did run that by her and because of some "financial issues", we are not sure if my mom will be able to stay in her home or have to move out and rent somewhere. So, she doesnt want to get a pet, and then have an issue of trying to find a place that accepts pets. I can only pray that she will NOT lose her home.. Ugh, its one thing to lose someone, then the financial part of it, makes it that much harder. I am going to look into those little books for her as well. As for the grief counseling, we could definitely use it! Thank you again Anne-Marie.
