Thank you

The old dog is home and resting, not in any apparent pain or distress. We’re still not quite sure what happened — a small stroke, a seizure, or maybe he just fell because he’s old. They ran some tests and we’re watching and waiting.

If I live to be a million years old, I will not forget the sight of my daughter, fresh home from her first day of kindergarten, saying goodbye to him and “helping” him down the stairs by gently pushing his butt. I could barely start the car.

Anyway, thank you for your continued good energy. He’s been part of the family for almost thirteen years. Hard to imagine it any other way.
