When I first put Buckley's page up, a woman in Oregon wrote to me about her
beagle, and then a man in Texas wrote about his cat, and then the letters just
kept coming. So I started this page. Every animal here was somebody's best
friend, and every one of them gets a candle.
To add your pet: e-mail me with your pet's name, what kind of animal, the years if you know them, your first name and state, and one or two lines about them. I add new friends every weekend. Please be patient with me, there are a lot of you, and I read every single letter. Newest friends are at the top. |

If you are in the first days of it, please be gentle with yourself. It does get softer. It never goes away, but it gets softer. — Colleen |
