Rick,
I am so sorry for the loss of Tuppy.* *I loved the way you explained her
last adventure and I am glad she had that last adventure. I'm also glad you
are thinking of her little friend Thatcher and finding a homeless Boxer for
companionship, she would have wanted it that way.
Can you send me a picture of the two of them?
Hang in there.
Linda
