Thanks, Kassie. He kept me connected to the real world.

I'm sorry for the loss of your dog. It is truly heartbreaking.

I have a gorgeous six month old chocolate lab who is too fun. Labs are wonderful! My daughter's yellow lab sleeps with her every night and she can't sleep until he's with her.

This photo isn't of my lab, but Mac looks JUST like this labby: (note to self: get scanner)

Old Dogs Do Not Die

We have a secret, you and I,
That no one else shall know,
For who but I can see you lie
Each night in the fireglow?
And who but I can reach my hand
Before we go to bed,
And feel the living warmth of you
And touch your silken head?
And only I walk woodland paths,
And see you ahead of me,
Your small form racing with the wind,
So young again, and free.
And only I can see you swim
In every brook I pass...
And when I call, no one but I
Can see the bending grass...
