MY SINCERE THANKS TO YOU,ELIZABETH. YOUR REPLY HAS HELPED ME MORE THAN WORDS CAN EXPRESS. JUST TO HEAR ANOTHER PERSON PROVIDE SYMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE SITUATION IS HELPFUL. WHY IS IT THAT THE PEOPLE I KNOW DON'T SEEM TO BE TOO CONCERNED WITH THE LOSS OF MY DOG,IT'S AS IF THEY DON'T CARE. PERHAPS I AM OVERREACTING, BUT I GET THE DISTINCT IMPRESSION THAT BRITISH PEOPLE ARE NOT AS MUCH A NATION OF ANIMAL LOVERS AS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE. I HAVE JUST RECENTLY RETURNED FROM THE US AND I SIMPLY LOVE THE COUNTRY AND THE PEOPLE. MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO HAVE VISITED THE US MANY TIMES ON VACATION AND FOR ME IT IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH. IF I HAD THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES I WOULD LEAVE BRITAIN AND SETTLE IN AMERICA TOMORROW. ONCE AGAIN MANY,MANY THANKS TO YOU ,ELIZABETH AND MY DEAREST WISH IS THAT YOU SOON FIND THE PEACE OF MIND YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR. YOU ARE A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING,ELIZABETH. GOD BLESS YOU.

I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU ARE FEELING RIGHT NOW,ELIZABETH,AS MY LITTLE DOG HAD TO BE PUT TO SLEEP LAST FRIDAY,JUNE25TH. TO SAY THAT I AM COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED BY GRIEF DOESN'T COME CLOSE TO DESCRIBING HOW I AM FEELING RIGHT NOW. I CRY CONSTANTLY AND WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND JUST WANDER AIMLESSLY AROUND THE HOUSE. I MISS MY LITTLE DOG SO MUCH AND JUST WANT TO BE WITH HER, I JUST CANNOT BEAR THIS GNAWING EMPTINESS INSIDE. I AM COMPLETELY HEARTBROKEN. MY LITTLE DOG WAS A TOY POODLE WHOSE NAME WAS PEBBLES,SHE WAS 17 YEARS OLD AND ALTHOUGH SHE HAD A GREAT LIFE THAT DOESN'T HELP ME COME TO TERMS WITH THIS INDESCRIBABLE FEELING OF PAIN AND LOSS. MY WIFE LOVED OUR LITLE DOG BUT SHE SEEMS TO HAVE ACCEPTED THE FACT THAT PEBBLES HAS GONE AND SHE IS QUITE PHILOSOPHIC AND TELLS ME THAT LIFE MUST GO ON. AS STRANGE AS IT MIGHT SEEM THE DEATH OF A PERSON NEVER AFFECTS ME LIKE THE DEATH OF AN ANIMAL. I HAVE ALWAYS PREFERRED TO BE AROUND ANIMALS THAN BEING IN THE COMPANY OF PEOPLE. ANIMALS GIVE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE WHICH IS SOMETHING I AM UNABLE TO SAY ABOUT PEOPLE. I AM SO SAD TO LEARN OF YOUR DEVASTATING LOSS, ELIZABETH, BUT I AM ABSOLUTLY CERTAIN THAT YOUR LITTLE DOG WAS A WONDERFUL PET AND HAD SO MUCH LOVED HEAPED ON HIM. BLESS YOU, ELIZABETH, AND I HOPE YOU FIND COMFORT AND RELEASE SOON FROM THE PAIN AND THE HEARTACHE YOU ARE ENDURING. MY WARMEST REGARDS. ELWYN- IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.
