the pups were a day old when she died; they'll be a week old tomorrow. four of them, we've been bottle feeding.

we burried rusty today...i think he's happy where we laid him, it was were he and i would go when i was having a hard time with something; i thought this would be a most appropriate memorial.

thank you all for your support, i'm a little better now, more clear minded... i just have to be sad for a little while, and get up and keep going. am glad i had some where to go to talk; my brother tried, but i can't realy break down in front of him, i'm supposed to be strong for him (he lives with me due to emphysema, he hates that i take care of him)

thanx again for being there, through my emotional outburst. i'm sorry about some of the stuff in the previous posts, i hope no one is offended...

i love you guys...
