Jade, I wouldn't know what do to do if I lost my
"kid".  We've had her for almost four years now (she's
a replacement for my German Shepard I gave up in a
divorce a few years back.  Strange, huh?  ;) ).
She's definatley my "kid", and I treat her like it all
the time.  And, no, I don't make her wear those awfull
sweaters for dogs.  That's a little too much for me. 
Anyways, hope all turns out well.  We'll sneak in a
quick little bit at this Sunday's service.  Now, off
to pick up the wifes copy of the next Harry Potter
movie!
