Like any kid, as soon as I showed our loveably stupid spaniel a comb, it shot out of the house like a rat out of an aquaduct - and that was with the doors shut!
I miss a dog, Ed, such loyal creatures. But heh, I was my dad's pet, he couldn't afford a dog. Neither could a farmer that I worked for when I was about 15 or 16. He used to send me running after stray cows, but here's the funny part, he whistled instructions to me as if I were a collie dog! So in a sense, I have been a dog as well as owning a dog. Pure pure empathy!

Well ... in this instance it takes two great minds and two hearts to produce such a loving tribute.

Somehow I think Rufus wrote this one ... I think its that coy look and pose he's got.

A lotta love in this write bubba ...
