It is heartbreaking to know this happens all too often.  I recently got an
E-mail from Julie Fossa in Ohio.  She said she spent five hours during
last Thanksgiving trying to jump start a little fuzzy that had been
starved, but lost the battle for it's life.  I like to think, June, that
before this fuzzy passed that it knew there was one good human in this
world that tried.
