Oh Iris, I always check the forum first thing when I get up each morning, and I can’t tell you how much it’s already brightened my day to see you here!! And especially to hear that Midas remains by your side :-))))).

Yep, we’re still here, and it’s heartwarming when family members return for a visit. The forum is much quieter now than in the old days. A lot of people have shifted to Facebook groups and other types of social media. Message boards like ours sadly seem to have fallen out of favor. I think it’s a shame, because I think we’re able to communicate more personally and in greater depth here. But it is what it is, and that’s what it makes it feel so special to chat with our friends once again.

Life has changed for me, too, since we last spoke. I lost my third beloved Lab a year ago Christmas. My husband and I talk about adding a new fur family member, but the time has not yet felt right. But without a doubt, my life is far emptier without a dog to share it with. So we shall see.

Anyway, it’s a joy to see you here. And we’d love it should you wish to tell us more about your life with Midas. Thanks so much for posting your note, and I send you my best wishes always!

Marianne
