    Thank you so very much, your beautiful poem really helps me at this difficulty time. I know it’s selfish, but I miss her so very very much.

    I miss my kids every single day. I don’t think it is selfish at all. Maureen – will you send me your address I want to mail you something from the residents of bassethoundtown in special memory of Slinky. Thanks….Cat and Daisy Lynn

    OH NO! Not Slinky! Cat, what a beautiful poem. And so very true. We are soooo very sorry Maureen. First hand experience here with the awful bloat. It’s a really hard thing to go through. Please know that Slinky had a loving Mom that took very good care of her and she couldn’t have found a better home. Chaps, Emma and Rugs were all there to meet her at the rainbow bridge. We will keep you in our hearts and prayers.

    The Doyle Family.

    I am gutted to read this evening that Slinky journeyed to the Bridge:(( Harley, Biggs and Leo are sending truckloads of their warmest, most soothing heart healing drool for Maureen. I know in my heart that Slinky is in the arms of gentle St. Francis now, being fitted for her angel wings. Deep, mournful arooooooooos… {{hugs}}

    So sorry Maureen. I am sure our Max, Nell, and Lollie were waiting to help welcome Slinky to the Bridge and show here where all the best nap spots are and where to get good snacks. We are so very sad.
