    I probably didn't put that too well, it was the Rainbow Bridge bit that made me think.

    My feelings for the dog are human, and I love him, but I think lots of the magic lies in the genuine attatchment that can exist between two of God's creatures that are of completely different species.

    And that the company of this different species is often infinitely more pleasurable than so many of my own.

    Vive la difference, as another species might say.

    We both value the role of dogs for humans--that is enough.

    Drove a leg for a dog rescue group that did the transport from Georgia to NY in memory of my recently departed Poirot. These guys were saved today:

    Now they are much better than when we first got custody of them--the one on the left weighed 35 pounds/ Miracle is that they found a permanent home for them together.

    Thats only a few pounds more than the cocker I just picked up. Glad they went to a home together.
    Haven't had an accident in years. See a lot in my rear view mirror though.

    It's very unlucky to be superstitious.

    Only my dog can judge me.

    Nice healthy looking dogs now. Well done JJH! I must confess when you mentioned relaying the dogs I found myself humming the old Robert Mitchum song: "and There Was Thunder, Thunder Over "thunder Road",
    thunder Was His Engine And White Lightening Was His Load."
