This is a very, very upsetting loss for us. It leaves us with an empty feeling.

That loss took away a lot of the swagger that we had coming into the new year.

The question isn't whether New Orleans is going to take a huge hit in terms of job loss. The real question is where we'll have to rebuild from once we know where we've bottomed out.

I have a very strange feeling of loss. I almost feel as though one of my family members has gone,

We don't want this to happen again. This was a loss in front of my wife's eyes. They should know how to deal with a barking dog.

I can't imagine dealing with anything worse. You're dealing with the loss of animals. It's not the barn. You're dealing with live animals.
