Barbara, I posted in the other topic in introductions. Again, I'm sorry. It wasn't your fault. I know you did all you could. Redrock did the same to us, the day before she died she rallied and we really thought she was getting better. The next day at work (2 years ago the 10th of next month) Bill called me about late am or mid day to tell me she'd died. I didn't believe it until I saw her in her tank when I got home.
Gina, I like the "no tears past the gate" poem you posted. I've lost several friends and family (human and beardie) that that poem touches me, also.
