Thank you. It still hurts, and I’m still finding dog hair around the house and the office. (He was a Golden, after all.) I think of him all the time.
I’m going in for knee replacement surgery in 2 weeks. Otherwise, there was a really cute Labrador puppy advertised at the Humane Society today...
Dang. Take the pup. S/he will wait for you to return. Don’t deny a dog the love you should get from it. (Him, her...who cares...)
The pup will do you proud!

unsolicited advise bulletin:
My Lab had to be put down 1 month before scheduled total right hip replacement.
After a 5 day hospital stay, I was greeted at home by a fluffy 9 week old mixed breed pup...I was furious. I asked my wife just what the hell she was thinking, and she replied, “Therapy.”
Physical, and wonderful, puppy breath, warm wet tongue therapy!
Give that Lab a home, quick, before the pup gets snapped up by a lesser Master.
Cheers, and good luck on your surgery!

Once in awhile I still come across one of Zoe’s very distinctive hairs (one end straight and the root end having stair-stepped squiggles).
I call them her little love notes.
