Re: leaving the real girlscout

[Guest guest]

So sorry about your loss, Doug.

My loss was 6 month ago, and it gets better (i.e., life goes on). But it still

Take care of yourself.

PS: I'm not a religious sort, but that damn mutt of mine had better be at that

'rainbow bridge' when I get there--and not off chasing chipmunks!
