windows and a church pew. They have a back door entrance to leave to the parking lot. It made me feel somewhat more at ease, though and I was heartbroken and cried my heart out when the last one died. It was the time we had 3 dogs and 5 cats. The problem was we got them so close together that it was like we were constantlly in the room. I stayed with my babies and heald them as I said the prayer of St. Anthony over them. I kissed them good=bye. and went out the back way to the car. My fur babies were like my own children. Because of a medical problem, I was not able to have children. But I had them and after all these years, I still think of them.-I hope Roxy, Bear, Clue aka Cuby, Rose, Tina, Thomas, Claire, Buffy, are all playing at the Rainbow Bridge. I loved them.
