Hi Ed..I see Rufuz is still looking great--like your new picture on your biography page--as one friend of mine said.."you clean up real good"
I kinda miss the original picture you used to have displayed..your poetry and short stories I still enjoy, glad I am one of your trackers so I can see whats on your mind and how you express it.

God bless that dog, Ed! I'm glad you have him with you -- they ask so little in return for all their love and affection.
Love,

He has brought to me happiness all of my days�

Our loyal pets' true motivation in life, and all they ever ask in return is a little love back. If only we humans could be more like them.

Kaiser was mine, a German Schepher Rex, big as a bear, loyal to a fault and protective as a mother hen.
He was gone just after his 18th birthday, never had a dog since, it pains damn too much when they are gone.
Give my regards to Rufuz.
Georg

Animals and their sensitivities really help each of us get through they myriad of events that control our days. I'm so thankful some days for my little kitties, poochies, and chinchillas. Even the fish have their place.

I'm happy for you and he is quite stunning, although I wouldn't comment on his hangage. :-)

Thanks,
~D.

Ed,

Your greatest strength, your furry Muse, your forever companion, your lover in the ultimate sense of the word. Unconditional acceptance. Yes. A most beautiful tribute to your best friend: good boy, Rufuz, and good on you, Ed, for sharing him with the Den; he is ours, too. We celebrate the highs and lows right along with you! You also make us wish that he were ours. In a way, he is. :) Excellent!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Aww, this is adorable, Ed; who could resist that hound? He is the handsome dog, yes, he is! You are so blessed to have him; pets make the best companions, particularly dogs! They sure do love their masters, fully and unconditionally; that love is evident in this charming poem! Very well done, Ed (and Rufuz)! *WOOF!*

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

...And THIS coming from a cat lover! :) I love doggies too, but cats rule in my world! LOL
