For all you pet lovers, you must watch the movie "Up". It's a cartoon, Disney, but you will not be disappointed.

Salute, Hobbs. May you have a good time at the rainbow bridge while you wait.

Thank you all for your kind expressions of sympathy. We are slowly getting over our loss.

Thank God there aren't any airedales around. I would probably come unglued if I saw one.

Bill, we felt the same way for a while, and the first few times we saw a beagle it was kinda hard. But now we are glad when we see one, and we try to meet the owner and get a beagle fix.

When my beloved Barney died, it was two weeks before Maggie and I could get little Casey...that was a LONG two weeks...

This time when Maggie left (after three or four "almosts" over 4 years), I was (more-or-less) prepared. Casey picked out Nelson only a couple of days later. Nelson's been wonderful, and has helped keep our minds off the loss of our sweetheart.

I think it will be a few months before we are ready for another Airedale. At least, that was how it went last time. I recall it was easier to lose a dog when another was still alive. We still have Calvin, the Siamese, but, as good a cat as she is, she is a poor substitute.
