It's so hard to find anything without it. What's really scary is when you find something and HFCS is the FIRST listed ingredient. "Yes, I'll have a glass of lemon flavored High Fructose Corn Syrup please".<BR/>I am sure the grieving will take some time but Sampson will always be "around". Even now, 7 years after our family's golden retriever died we all still miss him and talk about him with great reverance. My mother thinks he has come back to visit her from time to time. She told my brother this (he was the closest to Rusty) thinking he would tell her she was nuts and all he said was "tell him I said 'hi'." Stories about Rusty are still told around the table at Thanksgiving when we are all together. I am so sorry for your loss. I am sure your home is lonely without Sampson.Guera!https://www.blogger.com/profile/12616928404421960462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064998953162723258.post-6222818426150414442008-07-23T16:40:00.000-07:002008-07-23T16:40:00.000-07:00I'm listening and thinking of you.

I'm glad you talked to someone. honestly I agree you're doing everything you can to be well. this is just a tough situation, the endless waiting and losing your buddy like that. I'm sorry and hope you're feeling well soon. <BR/><BR/>I love reading about playing "tag" with sampson. we used to play something similar with our girl and it never failed to make me laugh. they are such good medicine, little healers they are. <BR/><BR/>after our pup died, I had a dream where I was getting off a plane in a huge sunny field of grains. suddenly off in the distance I saw her running towards me, young and healthy and smiling like she did. I got SO happy in my dream to see her and hug her and give her some love that I woke up crying. I wish I still had those dreams now, it was so real...lunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455301696832647867noreply@blogger.com
