I wish i could convey my appreciation for everything we have gotten from all of you! It's been 11 months since Ollie was dx with dire beasties and we came here not knowing how to test, post, give shots...we didn't even have a quarter to buy a clue. All the hand holding, gentle prodding, and kind direction we received brought us to our celebration today. This day is a celebration of all of us, our most trusted and smarter than the average vet ones (you know who they are

), whose knowledge and experience guides us from inexperience to at least being able to get through the day!!!

those who have gone to the Falls and come back to help, those who are yet to get there and our most cherished GA angels who watch over us all and guide us along our path. PARTY all and yahooooooo.

Sienne - How do i say Thank you to you? xoxox I used to think you were my personal guardian angel. I was
so clueless it didn't even occur to me that you were helping LOTS of other kitties and beans, taking care of Gabby and Gizmo, holding down a job and trying to squeeze in a life!! You have always been so kind, gentle, thoughtful and generous with your time and knowledge. The only reason Ollie and I ever got through testing was because you told me ...."sit with him, scritch him, give him a treat.. go slowly " Thank you is so very small. All my love and all my respect to you. xoxoxo mary
