Thanks, Linda. And welcome to the board. Many of us are going through some hard times right now, and we've all come here for support.

What's hard in my case is that Phaedra will be the fourth pet we've lost in just over 2 years.

Tomorrow is the day my cleaning lady comes. I'm seriously considering asking her to sit with Phaedra and watch TV while I go upstairs and try to sleep for a couple uninterrupted hours.
