Okay, this has nothing to do with the case, but I get the feeling everyone here really likes and enjoys Lion, and she really contributes, is respectful, and knows her stuff! Many of us know the love and loyalty of a dog, and really feel for her right now in this difficult time. On behalf of celebrating her, and wishing her our best, along with hoping she can slowly adjust to the new future without the little ones she so wanted...this is for you, Lion::blowkiss:
RAINBOW BRIDGE
Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When animals die that have been especially close to someone here, they go to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are refreshed and restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing--they miss someone very close to them; someone who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, and everyone gets along. But the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The bright eyes are intent, the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away from the group, flying over green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. YOU have been spotted, and when you and your special freinds finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face, your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet that has so long been gone from your life, but never from your heart.
Once reunited, you can then cross the Rainbow Bridge together.

Any one who is an animal lover can understand this, and I dare you to keep a dry eye.
my best to you Lion,
