55. So Sorry

Sun Jan 26, 2014, 02:07 AM

Jan 2014

I was surprised to find what a grievance it was when we lost our first dog a couple years ago. I can tear up even today. Alas, that dog's daughter is doddering around here, most faculties fritzed out yet somehow still working at it. She will need to be dealt with probably this year. Sigh.

These wonderful critters work their way into our hearts, partly cuz they bring such unquestioning affection (love?) all the time, despite all that might have just transpired.

I.e., they do not have most of the traits that at times can lead (at least me) to loathe some of our fellow spp. Score-keeping. Egomania. Revenge. Inability to learn and adapt.

You certainly deserve my sympathy.
