Once again, many thanx to everyone for the kind words. If there is a bright side to all this, it's that it occurred over my two days off from work. I was pretty much able to just do nothing yesterday - and I needed it. I still have Nikita and Snow to go out and hug when I need a little help. Needless to say, they're getting TONS of attention - which they are enjoying alot. I'll be looking at having a small marker made for his grave over the next week or so.
