Sorry to hear. It's amazing how much a dog bring to our lives and how much we miss them when the go. This is one of my favorite poems, always makes me think of my pup.

The Power of the Dog
Rudyard Kipling
There is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
But when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do we always arrange for more?
Brothers and sisters I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.

Buy a pup and your money will buy
Love unflinching that cannot lie--
Perfect passion and worship fed
By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.
Nevertheless it is hardly fair
To risk your heart for a dog to tear.

When the fourteen years that nature permits
Are closing in asthma or tumors or fits
And the vet's unspoken prescription runs
To lethal chambers, or loaded guns.
Then you will find--its your own affair
But--you've given your heart to a dog to tear.

When the body that lived at your single will
When the whimper of welcome is stilled (how still!)
When the spirit that answered your every mood
Is gone--wherever it goes--for good,
You still discover how much you care
And will give your heart to a dog to tear.

We've sorrow enough in the natural way
When it comes to burying Christian clay.
Our loves are not given, but only lent,
At compound interest of cent per cent.
Though it is not always the case, I believe,
That the longer we've kept 'em the more do we grieve;
For when debts are payable, right or wrong,
A short time loan is as bad as a long--
So why in Heaven (before we are there)
Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?

Sorry, man. How is this NOT booze related?

Aw, hell, man. That so, so sucks. I'm sorry for your loss.

I want to thank you all for your kind words. They help more than you might think.

The house is way too quiet. No barking, no roughhousing, no goofiness. Guinness keeps looking for her and DevilKat can't figure out what's going on. I know this will pass but it is tough right now.

Last night was for sadness, Tonight I'm drinking to that happy, silly, sweetheart of a dog she was.

To Dottie. WOOT!
