Jim,
I got your email and you said exactly the right thing. Marion Louise was a joy and when our dogs give us so much love and enjoyment, their passing is always going to bring commensurate pain. We were blessed that she decided to adopt us 8 years ago. She taught us so much about this breed and gave us so much love and shared a passion for life that is seldom seen in any living being. She was a great partner with which to have shared part of this journey. I'd like to believe that I'll be with her again some day. Thanks for caring.

Jim
