I think the thing about the cellar is it creates a virtual family - core family members and also those distant relatives that you see at weddings and funerals. Even after all the screaming matches, knocking of heads, and getting on each other's nerves because we know exactly what buttons to push, dwellers will always cheer on each other's kids, celebrate each other's triumphs, mourn each other's losses, and even... umm.. fuck each other's cancers?
I know this has all been said before, but I bring it up to say that I, too, am glad for this thread, to hear news on a critter I care about, whether it's to hear of an episode or a good day. Whenever I see a Boston Terrier IRL I always think "Look, a Pearl!" And I suspect I always will.
Best wishes again, UT, during this tough time. Thanks for the updates.
