on a somber note

[Gina Heitz <brier@oregonsbest.com>]

Hi All,

As fall begins to set in I tend to get somber....  I know you are all in 
denial that summer is coming to a close, it really is.  There is a chill in 
the AM air and the days are getting shorter and with that I am getting 
somber, I am going to miss summer and as we move into fall I am going to 
start to remember more my losses of dogs as fall seems to be when my guys 
pass on.  We are moving up on the adversary of two very personal looses for 
me, Peaches and Rocky, but this fall I have a renewed hope that sooner than 
later we are going to perhaps begin to make some headway with canine 
cancer.  I would appreciate it if each of you would take the time to go to 
this page on the Brier site and read Rhonda's letter and just keep this in 
mind should anyone be faced with either of these diseases...  And please as 
always feel free to pass on links of an educational nature here that you 
find...

Also I have finally found the strength to up load Rocky's memorial 
page.  There is a link to that page at the bottom of the cancer ed page...

In closing Coco Shinsato Lori's 12 year old mixed breed  love of a 
wonderful dog, was just diagnosed with Lymphoma so your thoughts there I am 
sure will be greatly appreciated by all of the Shinsato's

Hug'em you guys!
