wow... sorry mike..
our little guy is 1 1/2 and the thought of losing him will creep into my mind
every once and a while and it almost brings me to tears..
We thought we may have lost our 11 yr old choc lab last night. Came home from work and she was not in our back yard. It is fenced and the heavy winds the past few days apparantly took its toll on one of the gates. Drove around for awhile with no luck & had plans this morning to call a couple of shelters. Then, while leaving for work, my wife saw her a few houses down, with a young girl petting her. It "looks like" she may have been taken care of very well last night, coat 'seemed' brushed, and she refused food (very unusual). Just overwhelming on the emotions! Not at all looking forward to the day we may lose her for real!
Sorry to hear about the dog losses. I am reminded of something that Francis Ford Coppola said about the loss of his son. Basically, that we humans are fortunate to be able to feel the sorrow of losing someone that we love.

I'm honored you used my words in your sig, Molly. Usually its something goofy i go off with that is remembered.
Also, in the midst of our grief, your kitten vs cat loop gave us a much needed belly laugh. Can we possibly see a reprise of the toddler ambush loop? No innocent is safe from a cat pounce. My cat used to hide on the counter in the dark bathroom and reach out of the darkness to swipe a claw at innocent passerby in the hallway. Scared the crap out of guests.

Thanks Stat. I changed "dog" to "pet" because we have also lost several cats.
