I am so sorry to hear about the obnoxious people who take advantage of the "good" people who do "good" things, like your web site. I am equally sorry to have lost the tribute I sent in regards to my 17 year old animal companion, Frodo, a Siberian Husky/German Shephard mix who crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 1989. She was my constant companion through thick and thin and I will never forget her. I could not find it within myself to even "replace" her with another dog, so I now have 4 kitties that keep me very busy. Not so easy to take for a walk, but they do love and comfort me even more than I can do for them. Although small and quiet, they are warm and fuzzy, which takes away the pain of not hearing that friendly bark when I come home. Even after all these years I still miss Frodo. I had raised her from a pup, as I am these kitties, and was so sad to let her go. She was having more bad days than good days and the ASPCA, whom I support vehemently, said it was best to put her out of her misery. Hey, Frodo!, I hope you like cats.... We will see you again when we all cross the Rainbow Bridge together. Keep Mom and Dad, now, safe with you, you'll find them not far from the Bridge. I know they still remember you. I think of you often and with love. I will never forget you. Bye sweetie, for now.
