Thanks for all your support. I'm sorry to hear about your loss as well Jacki.

On a good note, I just returned from a visit with Rio at the breeders and she said I can bring him home on Sunday! He will be on one feeding per day for about another week or two. She said it's not really necessary as he barely eats (5-8 spoonfuls) it but she thinks it would be comforting for him if I hand feed one meal a day. Which is fine with me. Its funny to hand feed him. He gets so excited and makes such a mess of it, cracks me up!

It is different because although Rio looks just like my Baby but he acts quite differently in many ways. He's actually a lot braver and not as pissy. Its been over 6 months now, it's still hard to look at any Severe without thinking of Baby. I don't think I had ever been so attached to an animal like this before. I'm really hopping that I can form this kind of bond with Rio also.

I'm really looking forward to bringing Rio home and all the shopping I have ahead of me this weekend.
