Hi Carol,

>> We'll miss her so much.

>Oh dear.  And here I am with the last message asking how she was.  So sorry Ja

That's ok, I understand.. It was really rough yesterday.. still rough anytime
I pass by her dish, that kind of thing.. She really was in so much pain
between the arthritis and the infection that was all over her face and neck..
:(

> How's Toby taking it?

The vet was very good when Priscilla was put to sleep.. after it was done, he
had me call Toby in - Toby went over to her and smelled all over her, etc.. He
could tell she was gone.. then he just walked over to me and layed down on the
floor.. I guess just to say, I'm still here . He's been hanging around
close pretty much since yesterday.  Then tonight he brought me one of his toys
and threw it to me to toss back.. he wanted to play :)  We had a good time :)
He hasn't done that in a while.. I think he was letting me know that he was
enjoying being the only dog in the house haha.. I remember when Midnight died,
that Priscilla also got happy-playful after she got over her depression from
the loss of her sister.. Dogs are amazing :)

Take care,
Janis
