Two days and nights I was up with her ..... she was so good as after the
1st time that she tried to lay down she NEVER tried again ..... I had ASK her
NOT to lay down -- and, she didn't ....... not until right at the very end
when she very gracefully went down (and I knew she was dying and I'd been
begging her to just lay down) ..... and she put her head in my lap (I had
kneeled down with her as she lowered herself to the ground) ..... and then
she passed away with her head in my lap ........ oh darn -- here come the
tears again .

Yes, but you get to see her -- and jus think of how good she'll be when
she comes back home !!

That will change -- right now she's bonding with her trainer. YOU need
to spend more time with her - if only grooming her or just plain talking to
her ... Take her a "goodie" each time you go to visit ..... spend "quality
time" with her each time you go to see her. Pretty soon Phoenix will be
LOOKING for you to come
