<div>I LOVE the "Life of a Puppy" poem. It fits Quincy all right. I never know he'll bring to bed. I've found stray underwear, socks, his bone, papers, his teddy bear. I guess it's whatever he's in the mood for. But it's the same routine every night. I get up from my living room/TV nap, go to bed, in about 2 minutes I hear the little clickety-click of toenails on the wood floor, up the steps, and he climbs up his little "ladder of sorts" & peeks at me from the end of the bed. I say, "C'mon darlin'" and he hops up, walks up to me, I give him smoochies & hugs, he does a couple of circles, then curls up with some part of himself touching me. It's better than a warm glass of milk!</div>

<div>I posted that other sad story on my Facebook too. It made me cry, especially when I think about how true it is. The holiday season is approaching & so many people think a puppy is a great gift, without giving it any forethought. It's so sad!</div>

<div>@Debbie & Miss Daisy - Hooray!!!!!!! I guess Miss Daisy has found her "special purpose" ("The Jerk" with Steve Martin) and that would be to have mommy & daddy be her own personal food slave! I am so happy that she's doing so well. She's a tough little old girl and I know her mama is greatly relieved (and so is Elder Clara & the boys).</div>

<div>Drool to everyone with sick babies or the loss of a loved one. I would like to ask for some drool & prayers for a very good friend of mine (an ex-marine) who was just diagnosed with Stage 4 glioblastomy (about the worst kind of brain tumor & malignant). At this point, I'm not sure what the prognosis is, but I've heard it's pretty grim. He & his wife are the sweetest people & have done so much for people. Please keep them in your prayers (his name is Pat & hers is Carol).</div>

<div>Everyone have a safe & fun weekend. It's beautiful here in Kansas City, so the hounds & I will be having some outdoor adventures.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br></div>
