This tragedy brought me to tears for Shawn as I've been following "Save the Vickie" progress since he began the campaign and now for the loss of his beloved canine best friends. Thoughts, prayers and best wishes to Shawn and the Vickie home. I saved a historic old mansion many years ago and so I understand the bond one can form with a building's preservation.
