Fortis my Gentle Giiant - How very proud I am of you - you are a fighter. Wish I could have celebrated your 11th month ampuversary with you - sounds as if you had quite a ball. You are so awesome my friend - I love you and miss you so very much.
Love and Kisses

All I can say is WOW! Each one of your responses to Fortis' Ampuversary were very special to us. I smiled, laughed and cried all at the same time (yes, it is no secret in our house that mom seems to always have a never ending amount of tears at any given moment
).
Fortis and his dad were also very touched by your kind supportive messages. I think I even saw a little blushing from them 
. They are both my Superstars 
and very best friends and I would be lost without them.
So now that I have let Brett out of the closet that I locked him in so I could post the big weekend celebration, maybe he will play nicely and share the computer more often. 
Again, thanks to all of you! You are truly a special group of tripawd families!!
Love,
Fortis' Mom

Well I tried to quote you, but the button wouldn't cooperate.
Our house has been a two computer family for many, many years. We learned early on we didn't share well
And I'm not generally a cryer, but since this journey began, well, all bets are off. (Particularly when I read the forum - can't help myself)
Brett's out of the closet! Where is Monkeybutt to take that one away?

This is a known issue that happens when trying to quote posts by any member with an apostrophe in their display name. This will hopefully be fixed in the next major Foum update, and we don't feel right changing member's names for them... hint, hint.

Shanna,
I thought everyone new Brett was out of the closet after he posted the mini-skirt pictures!

I was beginning to think it was just picking on me. 
I'm glad you shared this little tidbit. Software will always have some limitations, but wow look how far it has taken us.
