Guys, these posts really helped.
As I suspected, yesterday sucked bad. Today isn't much better yet.
Reading through this thread comforted me and encouraged me...that's why I reached out here in the first place. We have so much in common that sharing good things (like the pickup threads) and the bad things (this one and others) feels right.
I can't thank you enough, your messages are touching.
You guys have great cards, and great dogs...you must be great guys
