Great prose as usual gyps. I was having a conversation with my girlfriend last night about dogs. We just watched that Richard Gere movie about the Akita (Hoshiko....I think). She is very attached to animals much like my daughter is. The unconditional love that they exhibit etc. Maybe they exhibit that love because they do not have as many distarctions as we do....maybe that is the secret to staying in love....avoiding distractions. Now I am rambling. Well, i know that the pounds are full of good dogs looking for a good home, there are also plenty of good people out there looking for good relationships. They may even hold their farts for a while. I am lucky to have found one such person and you will as well. In the meantime...it is nice to reminisce on the past...on memories....but also keeping in mind that there is a future for us all. Perhaps a better future. In spite of the lacklustre economy and housing market, there is a future and we have the power and ability to shape ours. Get out there Gyps, you have so much to offer!
